Microscopic frameworks might further boost perovskite solar cells
Solar cells based upon perovskite compounds might soon make electricity generation from sunlight even more efficient as well as more affordable. The laboratory effectiveness of these perovskite solar cells currently exceeds that of the widely known silicon solar cells. A worldwide team led by Stefan Weber from limit Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz has actually located tiny frameworks in perovskite crystals that can guide the charge transportation in the solar cell. Creative placement of these electron highways might make perovskite solar cells a lot more effective.

Dye-sensitized solar cells attain a new power conversion performance record
Mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were designed in 1990s by Brian O'Regan and Michael Grätzel, taking on the latter's name-- the world-famous Grätzel cells. DSCs convert light into electrical power via photosensitizers-- dye compounds that absorb light and inject electrons into an array of oxide nanocrystals which ultimately are collected as electrical current.
