Achieving record efficiency in perovskite solar cells, a new study demonstrates the role of solvent dynamics in optimizing film crystallization and stability.

A joint research team has successfully identified, for the first time, the specific types of defects responsible for efficiency loss in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Subscribe to our ...

When solar cells are exposed to sunlight, certain bound 'charge pairs' are generated in its components, which need to be separated for photocurrent generation. Ferroelectric materials, due to their ...

SAN FRANCISCO — SunPower Corp. said Monday that it has observed a new performance effect known as “surface polarization” in high-efficiency silicon solar cells that could significantly increase the ...

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...

A series of sulfides/carbon composites with sulfur vacancies-rich sulfides heterointerfaces are well-designed and developed via a simple one-pot carrageenan-assistant cations-regulated strategy.

Korean researchers revealed that efficiency losses in heterojunction solar cells arise from two coexisting defect types – dangling bonds and weak silicon-silicon bonds. Their findings explain how ...

A joint research team led by Dr. Hee-Eun Song of the Photovoltaics Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-Keun, hereafter “KIER”) and Prof. Ka-Hyun Kim of ...
