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.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be made with low-cost materials, are highly effective, can surpass conventional silicon solar cells, as well as have the prospective to reinvent renewable energy. However, one of the current drawbacks preventing their widespread usage has is their lack of functional stability.

BlackRock Alternatives' Climate Infrastructure service has made an added investment of greater than KRW 170 billion (USD 133m/EUR 125m) in Korean small-scale solar developer as well as independent power manufacturer Brite Energy Partners (BEP).

Clean, lasting energy options are essential to fulfill the ever-increasing energy demands of the human population. High efficiency solar cells are promising candidates to reduce carbon emissions as well as achieve carbon neutrality.

Colombian power as well as gas company Grupo Energia Bogota (GEB) revealed today that it will certainly construct a hybrid facility south of Bogota, including a 1-MW solar farm and a 3.5-MW natural gas plant.

Hanwha Solutions has unveiled plans to spend US$ 320 million in cell and module production capacity developments in the United States and also Korea.

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.

SK E&S Co Ltd, part of South Korean commercial empire SK Group, has actually consented to invest up to USD 400 million (EUR 345m) in REV Renewables LLC, a device of LS Power that gets, establishes as well as operates renewable energy and battery storage space properties.

Scientists develop a catalyst that can make it possible for business on-site production of hydrogen from water splitting, a video game changer in eco-friendly power. Having utilized fossil fuels for over a century for nearly every little thing, humanity has triggered an environment dilemma. Now, the regulation is to achieve net no emissions or carbon nonpartisanship by 2050.
