A single chemical additive applied during perovskite film deposition helped lift a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell to a ...

A set of peer-reviewed studies and federally funded research projects have shown that solar cells can double as curved mirrors, generating electricity and high-temperature heat from a single piece of ...

The result was certified by China's National Photovoltaic Industry Metrology Test Center (NPVM). The cell utilizes a ...

Chinese researchers, led by a research team from PV Technology Center of Tongwei Co., Ltd, used a sequential annealing process in the fabrication of tandem solar cells, featuring a wide bandgap ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

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 ...

As a result, the prototype tandem solar cells not only achieved a certified efficiency of 32.76 percent but also demonstrated ...

An international study found that the specific power of commercial silicon solar modules increased from 8.5 W/kg in the early ...

Radiation testing indicates that solar cells composed of carbon-based, or organic, materials could be better than traditional silicon and gallium arsenide for producing electricity in the final ...
