perovskite

Researchers at EPFL's Photovoltaics and also Thin Film Electronics Laboratory as well as CSEM's Sustainable Energy Centre have actually declared two world records by attaining an effectiveness of over 30% for perovskite-on-silicon-tandem solar cells.

Lightweight as well as flexible perovskites are very encouraging materials for the fabrication of photovoltaics. Thus far, nevertheless, their highest reported efficiencies have actually been around 20%, which is significantly lower than those of stiff perovskites (25.7%).

DGIST has announced that the research team led by Professor Choi Jong-min of the Department of Energy Engineering at DGIST enhanced the light absorption capacity and also photocurrent generation of solar cells by applying a nano-structured electrode on the back of a perovskite quantum-dot solar cell, a next-generation solar cell material. On top of that, the group systematically verified the connection between the shape of the nanostructure and the performance of the solar cell and the optimized conditions for the formation of nanopatterns in organic materials.

Thin-film modern technologies such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and perovskites can markedly minimize the carbon intensity of PV compared with silicon alternatives, according to scientists at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Buildings, especially those with glass facades, are getting closer to self-powering, according to Australian researchers that lately established a 15.5%- efficient, semi-transparent solar cell that enables more than 20% of visible light to travel through.

An original strategy to mass-producing affordable solar cell foundation blocks might result in the wide adoption of solar panels made from perovskite ink-- a "wonder material"-- according to study from the University of Surrey.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have found that a tin-lead perovskite cell can get rid of issues with stability and also boost efficiency, with their most current experiment generating a 25.5% conversion performance.

A perovskite solar cell (PSC) with an one-of-a-kind passivation method based upon the application of guanidinium (Gua) and also octylammonium (Oa) spacer cations has actually gotten in the solar scene; thanks to a team of scientists from Flinders University, the University of New South Wales, and Australian National University.

In a recently-published research, 3-µm-thick readily offered parylene-C was transferred on the top of pre-cleaned glass through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and after that the flip-over transferring (FOT) process was utilized to make certain a smooth parylene surface.

A group of researchers from the UK and Japan has actually located that the tiny issues which limit the efficiency of perovskites-- more affordable alternative materials for solar cells-- are also in charge of architectural modifications in the material that result in degradation.

Perovskite-based PV supplier Saule Technologies is partnering with Google Cloud as well as renewables firm Columbus Energy to progress its technology.

Perovskite products may hold the potential to play an important duty in a procedure to create hydrogen in a renewable manner, according to an analysis from researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Singaporean scientists have created a semitransparent perovskite solar panels for applications such as building-integrated PV, vehicle-integrated solar, as well as clever glasses.

This new method for screening perovskite solar cells leads the way for their usage in powering objects that require the cells' radiation firmness and durability.

A brand-new perovskite PV cell based on titanium dioxide nanoparticles exhibits low effectiveness losses when scaled up from cell to module.
