Korean researchers break records with 20.6% efficient perovskite solar cell, surpassing China. Next-gen technology offers high efficiency and low costs for solar energy.

Peak Energy and Topinfra form JV to develop 500 MW of solar and battery storage capacity in South Korea, with initial investment of 70 MW. Funds from Peak Energy will fuel ambitious pipeline of projects within the country.

Research team succeeds in creating world's first transparent thin-film solar cell on flexible substrate with reflective colors, maintaining cell efficiency. Multi-layer thin film reduces the reflection loss in visible light, making solar cells with varied colors & excellent efficiency at a reasonable cost. Can be used in image sensors, photolithography masks, and infrared shielding fields. Research team actively pursues solar modules with esthetic & functional BIPV elements.

New research strategy to modify Tin dioxide (SnO2)/perovskite interface by passivating buried defects and modulating carrier dynamics achieves record-breaking power conversion efficiency of 25.05%. Improved energy level alignment and superior interface contacts offer enhanced stability.

Scientist fromKorea's Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Ajou University, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) and Kookmin University have actually made new polymeric hole transport products that constitute a crucial component in perovskite quantum dot solar cells, leading to considerable increase in their effectiveness.

Last summer season, cities of Korea including Seoul were hit by an unmatched heavy rainfall, which swamped various locations. In a similar way, torrential downpours engulfed concerning one-third of Pakistan, resulting in prevalent flooding. New York City State was not spared as it experienced heavy snow storms in December of last year, with snowfall of more than one meter.

Researchers from Korea's KIMM institute have actually produced full-color flexible microLED devices, using blue LEDs as well as perovskite quantum dot color conversion layers.

Researchers from Korea's Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Rochester in the U.S, and The Australian National University have actually boosted the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite for solar cell applications by 250%. They developed a perovskite film with a plasmonic substrate made from hyperbolic metamaterial and characterized it with transition dipole orientation.

Scientists at Switzerland's EPFL as well as Sungkyunkwan University in Korea have attended to the issue of perovskite solar cells' stability.
