While they may appear to be insignificant, raindrops’ impact on surfaces can create measurable electrical signals when specific conditions exist. Scientists from Spain have now demonstrated that the ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe ...

Organic solar cells have long promised a future of lightweight, flexible energy harvesting, but their tendency to degrade ...

What if perovskite solar cells could skip solvents and still deliver 27.2% efficiency? A vacuum process moves them closer to ...

Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough in producing perovskite solar cells as they have ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have made a major breakthrough in producing ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...
