The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed a bifacial perovskite solar cell that captures sunlight on both sides, potentially ...

New techniques bolster efficiency of solar cells, yet scaling for commercial application remains a challenge.

Combining perovskite with silicon, solar cells convert more energy from sun

The researchers recorded power-conversion efficiencies of 17.9% and 17.5% respectively in prototype devices.

Recycling next-generation solar panels fosters green planet

The study revealed that liquid-like motion in the material may be responsible for their high efficiency in producing electric currents from solar energy.

Hydrogen in hybrid perovskites: Researchers identify the defect that limits solar-cell performance

The researchers used human hair waste sourced from a barbershop.

Homing in on longer-lasting perovskite solar cells

Sulfolane-additive process yields easy fabrication, low cost, top performance, long operating life

Three-dimensional perovskites have proved themselves remarkably successful materials for solar panels.

Perovskite materials are increasingly popular as the active layer in solar cells, but they are unstable.
