KAUST

Scientists from Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and also Technology (KAUST) have actually reported the results of an one-year outdoor test for a tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell they developed in 2020. They have located that the device retained greater than 80% of its initial performance throughout the testing period between April 2021 as well as April 2022.

Rechargeable batteries that utilize ammonium cations as charge carriers could provide ecofriendly and sustainable substitutes to metal-ion-based batteries, researchers at KAUST show.

A solar-cell module that mitigates cell-to-module losses has actually been established by KAUST researchers complying with a rethink of the module's optical design as well as how it must be stacked.

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have built an inverted perovskite-silicon tandem device with a 1 nm thick interlayer based on magnesium fluoride (MgFx). They declare it can quit voltage losses and boost power conversion performance, while preserving 95.4% of its initial performance after 1,000 hrs.

Recently, designers worldwide have actually been creating various new technologies to generate and store energy more sustainably. These technologies consist of solar or photovoltaic cells, electrical tools that can convert the light from the sun right into electrical energy.

A thorough view of just how electric charges behave inside perovskites might assist initiatives to improve the performance of next-generation solar cells based upon these materials, KAUST research published in Nature Communications has shown.

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have actually developed photovoltaic panels that soak up water vapour from ambient air. This has actually been utilized to grow spinach in the middle of the desert.

Scientists in Saudi Arabia have actually reported the "the very first" successful damp-heat examination of perovskite solar cells, which they claim has relocated the technology closer in the direction of industrial viability after it held up against 1,000 hours of extreme conditions as well as kept a 95% effectiveness.

A high-performance variation of the zinc-ion battery will enable stationary power storage space that assures to be less expensive, much safer and also a lot more environmentally friendly than lithium-ion batteries.

A multifunctional molecule that connects numerous atomic-scale defects in perovskite solar products can dramatically improve the longevity and electric result of this promising solar modern technology, KAUST scientists have revealed.

The previous record for n-type perovskite tandem solar cells was 22% performance. Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells have high power conversion efficiency potential at budget-friendly expense.

An electrode coating just one molecule thick can substantially enhance the efficiency of an organic photovoltaic cell, KAUST scientists have actually found. The coating outperforms the leading product currently made use of for this job and may lead the way for enhancements in various other tools that rely upon organic molecules, such as light-emitting diodes and also photodetectors.

A synthetic approach that improves absorber layers in perovskite solar cells might help them accomplish their full potential as well as draw closer to the performance of leading gallium arsenide tools.

2 types of products are better than one when it comes to solar cells, as exposed by a worldwide team that has actually tested a new combination of products and architecture to enhance solar-cell efficiency.

Two types of products are far better than one when it comes to solar cells, as exposed by an international team that has actually checked a new mix of products and also design to boost solar-cell effectiveness.
