Solar power has long been constrained by a supposedly unbreakable ceiling on how much sunlight a panel can turn into electricity. That barrier is now cracking as a new class of solar materials pushes ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...

Canadian solar panel maker Heliene and India’s solar cell maker Premier Energies are joining forces to build a US solar cell factory. This is great news for the US, as there is currently a shortage of ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

An international research team led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed a 3D/2D perovskite solar cell based on a meta-amidinopyridine (MAP) ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...
