The enigma of the missing out on energy fixed in solar cells
The performance of solar cells can be increased by making use of a phenomenon called singlet fission. Nevertheless, unexplained energy losses during the response have actually until now been a major trouble. A research team led by researchers at Linkoping University, Sweden, has discovered what occurs during singlet fission as well as where the lost power goes. The results have actually been released in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science.

A new material for the battery of the future, made in UCLouvain
Renewable sources of energy such as wind or photovoltaic are intermittent. The production peaks do not necessarily follow the demand peaks. Storing green energy is therefore essential to moving away from fossil fuels. The energy produced by photovoltaic cells is stored during the day and by wind-power when the wind blows to be used later on when needed.
