Silicon, the standard semiconducting material used in a host of applications-computer central processing units (CPUs), semiconductor chips, detectors, and solar cells-is an abundant, normally occurring material. However, it is pricey to mine as well as to cleanse.

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.

Making use of green light and a double-layered cell, Ph.D. scientist Riccardo Ollearo has generated a photodiode that has level of sensitivity that several can just imagine.

Shunfeng International Clean Energy Ltd, the parent company of Wuxi Suntech Power Co Ltd, has announced plans to invest INR 10.5 billion (USD 1.53bn/EUR 1.43bn) to set up a 10-GW TopCon solar cell factory in Anhui, China.

Researchers from Australia and Germany set a new record with a 30.3% efficient perovskite and silicon tandem solar cell, funding by ARENA. Stay up to date with the latest Solar Energy news.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed photovoltaic nanowires using three materials to improve the efficiency of solar energy. These tandem solar cells are now being tested on satellites.

Its majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar has actually participated in a multi-year investment agreement with the municipal government of Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province in China. In initial phase, the company will certainly include a capacity of 14 GW of wafer and also cell production.

Purdue University scientists have actually produced new, multifunctional ligands that improve the fee transfer, power conversion capability and also long-lasting stability of perovskite solar cells.

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.

Chinese perovskite solar technology company Renshine Solar (Suzhou) has actually announced 29.0% steady-state power conversion efficiency of all-perovskite tandem solar cell created in-house. The company currently expects to surpass 30% in 2023.

A team of scientists at EPFL have actually developed a method that improves both power conversion performance as well as stability of solar cells based upon pure iodide as well as mixed-halide perovskites.

Scientists from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University have actually examined exactly how thermal evaporation (TE) could be used to produce small perovskite solar modules. TE are fully grown techniques that are typically utilized in the microelectronic and optoelectronic markets to create natural light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), metal contacts, as well as various coatings.

The globe's initial solid-state photovoltaics were reported in 1883, and were made up of selenium, which at some point led to the growth of the present-day photovoltaics, although the wide bandgap of selenium was limiting for applications of sunlight harvesting.

Scientists in the United States have actually established thin-film materials with photovoltaic cells capable of generating power. Much lighter than routine solar panels, they can be included in any kind of type of surface, including clothing!
