Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

An international research group has published breakthrough findings demonstrating how the ionic compound caesium bromide (CsBr) can significantly improve the efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) ...

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

Silicon heterojunction solar cells combine crystalline silicon substrates with thin amorphous silicon layers to harness the advantages of both materials. This approach yields superior passivation, ...

Converting sunlight into electricity is the task of photovoltaic solar cells, but nearly half the light that reaches a flat silicon solar cell surface is lost to reflection. While traditional ...

Engineers at the University of New South Wales have developed a real-time monitoring technique that reveals how silicon solar cells can self-repair following ultraviolet-induced damage, offering new ...

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 ...

Dr Zhang Boxue (left), Assistant Professor Park Somin (middle) and Assistant Professor Wei Mingyang (right) from the National University of Singapore developed a more heat-resistant material to ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

A newly developed metasurface-based silicon antireflective coating combines rectangular and cylindrical meta-atom geometries. The metasurface achieves just 5 percent reflection, compared to ~50 ...
