Engineers have invented a way of fabricating perovskite single crystals with precisely deformed, or strained, structures

To address the knowledge gap in degradation mechanisms for various photovoltaic types, researchers performed tests over five years in which they collected weather ...

Most emerging organic solar technologies produce less energy and are regrettably unusable.

Existing transparent solar cells tend to have a reddish hue and lower efficiency, but by punching tiny holes on crystalline silicon wafers, it ...

A research team has investigated the ways sunlight can degrade the efficiency of newly developed organic photovoltaics over time.

New material should be relatively easy to produce at an industrial scale, researchers say.

The new hybrid device can both capture and store solar energy. Device offers a new avenue for capitalizing on abundant solar energy.

Scientists have developed a method to analyze which pairs of materials in next-generation perovskite solar cells will harvest the most energy.

Solar panels are made of solar cells, which is the part that turns the solar energy in sunlight into electricity.

Materials scientists find inorganic compounds quench defects in perovskite-based solar cells and expand their tolerance of light, humidity and heat.

They have developed a way to map strain in lead halide perovskite solar cells without harming them.

Next-generation solar cells that mimic photosynthesis with biological material may give new meaning to the term 'green technology.'
