A team of scientists from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) determined that surface recombination limits the performance of polycrystalline perovskite solar cells. Considerable research into pe...

Over the last several decades, scientists and engineers at national labs, universities, and private companies continue to explore and develop new types of cells and push the capabilities of existing ones, because an ideal techn...

In a discovery that could have profound implications for future energy policy, scientists at Columbia University have demonstrated that it is possible to manufacture solar cells that are far more efficient than existing silicon...

The best-performing cell, which contains the FTO/Bl-TiO2/mp-TiO2+CH3NH3PbBr3 (~2-nm QDs)/PTAA/Au configuration shows the following results: open-circuit voltage (VOC)=1.110 V, current density (JSC)=14.07 mA cm−2, fill factor=0....

The world’s highest efficiency solar cells have been developed at the University of New South Wales, which could eventually lead to zero-energy buildings equipped with ultra-thin panels. The cells are made from CZTS, a mixture ...
