How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...

Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...

A team of researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), led by physicist Steve Albrecht, says it has pushed solar cell ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...
