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.

Breakthrough research enhances stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells, achieving remarkable performance and record-high solar hydrogen production rate.

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 from the University of Surrey, University of Toronto, University of Stuttgart as well as Ulsan National Institute of Science and also Technology have actually found that supporting the perovskite "photoactive phases"-- the certain part of the product that is in charge of transforming light power right into electrical energy-- is the key action towards expanding the life-span of perovskite solar cells.

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.

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.
