Tandem solar cell globe document: New branch in the NREL graph
Tandem cells integrate 2 various semiconductors that transform various parts of the light range right into electric power. Metal-halide perovskite substances mostly make use of the noticeable parts of the range, while CIGS semiconductors transform instead the infrared light.

Predicting the device performance of perovskite solar cells with machine learning
Steel halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been rapidly established in the past years. To obtain high-performance PSCs, it is essential to optimize the construction procedures as well as the structure of the perovskite films. Substantial work has actually been carried out to identify the impacts of the fabrication procedures and also composition of the perovskite films on the device performance.

Scientists raise the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite by 250%.
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.

Molecular resonances lower the optimum possible photovoltage in natural solar cells
Researchers at TU Dresden and also Hasselt University in Belgium examined the physical reasons that restrict the performance of unique solar cells based upon natural molecular products. Presently, the voltage of such cells is still also reduced-- one factor for their still fairly reduced effectiveness.
