Blocking resonances that eliminate warmth might increase effectiveness of next-gen solar cells
Led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory as well as the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a study of a solar-energy product with a bright future revealed a way to reduce phonons, the waves that move heat. The discovery could enhance novel hot-carrier solar cells, which convert sunshine to electrical energy much more effectively than conventional solar cells by harnessing photogenerated fee providers before they lose energy to heat.

Scientists expose defect homes in photovoltaic material
As a new member of photovoltaic family, antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) has the satisfactory bandgap of 1.7 eV, profiting the fabrication of the leading absorber layer of tandem solar cells. Because of an unique quasi-one-dimensional framework, it shows benefits of much less dangling bonds. Based upon these advantages, the openings defects upon the surface triggering the recombination of carriers could be minimized dramatically, which assists to resolve the photovoltaic problems in solar cells.
