Perovskite solar cells have gained considerable momentum in the search for cheaper, more efficient solar energy. However, the ...

It is common for solar panels to be shaded by trees, clouds, birds or buildings. For thin-film solar technologies, however, ...

Solar cells' efficiency and lifespan are often determined by what happens at interfaces—the microscopic boundaries where ...

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 ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

Researchers from the University of Arkansas in the United States have fabricated a graphene-based solar cell that can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The device was developed in the ...

PEDOT:PSS is commonly used as a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells because it combines high transparency, good conductivity, and suitable energy-level alignment, but its moisture ...
