New layout strategies to improve the stability and efficiency of bifacial perovskite solar cells
Solar cells based upon perovskites, calcium titanium oxide minerals or compounds with similar structures, are amongst one of the most appealing emerging energy options. Over the past couple of years, engineers and material researchers have been exploring the capacity of solar mini-modules (i.e., little cells that can be utilized to develop larger-scale solar panels) made from perovskite bifacial structures.

Scientists show clay substance can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells
Researchers from Turkey's Konya Technical University have shown that sepiolite, a normally taking place clay substance, can be included in perovskite precursor materials, and also develop a scaffold layer that can improve the performance as well as stability of solar cells. The researchers think that this substance could be valuable in developing reproducible processes for the manufacturing of large-area perovskite solar cells.

New DLR institutes will certainly explore solar-chemical fuels and the future of air transportation
In the future, mobility needs to come to be more eco-friendly - whether artificial fuels from sustainable sources, electrical power or hydrogen, cutting-edge and also low-emission engines, unmanned as well as electric aircraft, or concepts for their assimilation into the air transport system. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum hair Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is establishing four new institutes as well as facilities to magnify its research on a large range of topics in these important areas. Funding is currently guaranteed adhering to the passing of the Structural Reinforcement Act (StStG) by the German Federal Parliament and the Federal Council on 3 July 2020.
