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 ...

Lead recycled from centuries-old ammunition provides raw materials for perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar cells ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are among the most promising solutions to source energy ...

A KAIST research team has solved the "solar cell dilemma," in which increasing efficiency shortens lifespan, while extending lifespan lowers efficiency. The team developed a technology to precisely ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a bifacial chalcoprite solar cell using a titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) back contact, achieving 68% bifaciality. The device is able to maintain strong front-side ...

Japanese researchers developed a molybdenum-based spin-flip emitter that efficiently harvests triplet excitons from ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Electricity is an essential part of modern life and each method of producing it comes with pros and cons. Fortunately, there's a giant ball of energy — the sun — just waiting to have its energy ...
