Revolutionary solar cell design achieves 25.6% efficiency with 2D/3D heterojunctions. Groundbreaking research from KAUST, UNIST, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

UNIST research team achieves groundbreaking 18.1% efficiency with world's most efficient quantum dot solar cell, paving the way for next-gen solar cell commercialization.

Researchers from China's Chongqing University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as well as JA Solar Holdings Co., along with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) as well as Germany's CTF Solar as well as have actually made a perovskite solar cell based upon a binary blended hole transport layer (HTL) that apparently supplies much better efficiency than HTLs that depend on commonly used hygroscopic dopants.

Scientists at South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Chonnam National University and also Pohang University of Science and also Technology (POSTECH) have actually created a special perovskite solar cell that utilizes alkylammonium chloride (RACI) to regulate the development of defects in the perovskite layer.

A research group, affiliated with UNIST has prospered in achieving a power conversion efficiency (PEC) of 23.50% in a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell built with a special textured anti-reflective coating (ARC) polymeric film. According to the research study group, the PCE of the tool with the ARC film was sustained for 120 hrs, keeping 91% of its initial value.

A research team, led by Professor Hyesung Park in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has done well in producing possibly high efficiency, stable, as well as scalable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) using vacuum deposition device, a technique of fabricating organic light-emitting display tools (OLEDs). Such technique is additionally helpful for the automation of batteries, which is anticipated to additional increase the commercialization of the PSCs, according to the research team.

United States and South Korean scientists claim to have actually achieved a power conversion performance of 23.50% in a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell developed with a special distinctive anti-reflective layer (ARC) polymeric film. The cell is likewise able to maintain 91% of its first effectiveness after 120 hours.

By causing a suitable electron flow procedure called vectorial transfer, South Korean researchers had the ability to create a solar cell production technique that can produce cells with as much as 60 percent more electron transfer efficiency than traditional cells. The brand-new technique allows photovoltaic cells to manage electron flow in one desired instructions to minimize the loss of electrons throughout power generation.

Developed for BIPV applications by scientists in Korea, the solar cell is based on a 100μm-thick n-type silicon wafer as well as has a bending radius of 3-6mm.

The record efficiency was gotten thanks to an interlayer put between the electron-transporting layer and the perovskite layer, which removed the requirement for passivation. The cell was additionally able to preserve around 90% of its first effectiveness after 500 hours under common illumination.

An unique innovation that can enhance the performance of quantum dot solar cells to 11.53% has been unveiled. Released in the February 2020 concern of Advanced Energy Materials, it has actually been evaluated as a research that addressed the difficulties postured by the generation of electrical currents from sunshine by solar cells by boosting the hole extraction.

A South Korean research study team has actually asserted that clear PV innovations need to boost in terms of performance, stability as well as aesthetic appeal prior to they can get to commercial maturity.

A group of scientists, connected with UNIST has actually thought of a novel electrode that might substantially boost the security of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), one of the most promising prospect for the next generation solar cells because of their low cost and high power conversion effectiveness. This is due to the fact that putting a protection layer in between the metal-based electrode as well as the perovskite movie can stop metal-induced deterioration and that graphene, thus a layer, can effectively subdue the diffusion of steels and also halide ions.

Scientists in Korea have actually discovered a economical and also reliable method to change solar cells from nontransparent to clear. Existing clear solar cells have a tendency to have a red shade as well as reduced performance, yet by punching openings that are around 100? m in size (equivalent in dimension to a human hair) on crystalline silicon wafers, it permits light via without tinting. The holes are after that tactically spaced, so the human eye is not able to "see" the pattern. The job shows up December 11 in the journal Joule.

Ulsan National Institute of Science as well as Technology (UNIST) has actually raised the performance of a quantum dot solar battery, which transforms sunshine right into electrical power making use of quantum dots, to 11.53 percent by integrating quantum dots as well as natural polymers.
