POSTECH study group included Prof. Taiho Park as well as Junwoo Lee, a pupil in joint MS-PhD program created Alkoxy-PTEG, opening transportation polymers that could be liquified in pepper mint oil, by using ethylene glycol side chains when they generated high effectiveness perovskite solar cells. Additionally, they verified that this polymer caught dripping lead in the aged perovskite solar cells.

Significant Korean polysilicon manufacturer, OCI Chemical is to shut 2 solar quality polysilicon plants in Korea as manufacturing expense are nearly dual the present record low ASPs.

Korean scientists assert it is feasible to draw out greater than 10% of 'surprise electrical power' in crystalline solar batteries making use of a brand-new encapsulation procedure based upon poly‐dimethylsiloxane finishes as well as a three-dimensional module framework. Contrasted to EVA movies, the brand-new finishing is stated to prevent removing short-wavelength light

Former Governor of New York George Pataki has welcomed the possible siting and construction of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) factory in the state.

Researchers in Korea have suggested a layout for bonding and dividing that's believed to provide increased efficiency. The number of palms optimized to five cells for branch has been 171 and 128. Five provide power conversion efficiency of 17.346percentage and three 16.855%.

Korean scientists are studying a lithium-air battery to improve the discharge capacity and durability of the device, which would allow e-vehicles to cover long distances without recharging.

Nano One has been issued a Taiwanese patent relating to lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) cathode material, that eliminates cobalt from the battery

TSCs are emerging devices which combine the advantages of visible transparency and light-to-electricity conversion. Among the valuable potential applications of these devices is their integration into vehicles, buildings, or mobile electronics. Therefore, color-perception and flexibility are important in addition to the efficiency.

A group of Korean researchers, headed by Prof Soojin Park, has created foldable batts with thin 3D organic electrodes.

ReNew Power gets a 51-percent stake of the project, while the Korean contractor will hold the remaining 49 percent. The project has been won during the tranche-IV tender held by SECI in 2019.

UNIST researchers have discovered how to let light through photovoltaic panels. They have made dense micro-holes in a cell, which makes it seen as fully transparent and suitable for window application.

A group of scientists from the Korean IBS, in collaboration with the Netherlands-based UvA, has created a new 2D material with atomic layer thickness, which offers super high energy conversion efficiency.

The naysayers aren't stopping big automakers and startups from developing the technology. There are some ideas where the payoff for success would be so huge that you just have to try.

Hyundai Motor has created the world’s first vehicle equipped with solar roof-mount charging. The innovative solution is claimed to provide extra electrical power, maximize fuel efficiency and driving distance.

Korean conglomerate LG reports increasing demand for its high-efficiency PV products in key markets while Kyocera said its solar business is improving profitability. Panasonic posted a slight increase in sales for its PV segment, including solar manufacturing.
