Solar Technology & PV R&D News

A group of scientists from Berkeley Laboratory has found out how to increase evaporation twice with the help of solar energy, based on natural properties of water.

A group of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory and WashU have succeeded in leading electrons along the way they never take in the nature. This has allowed the scientists to better understand the initial processes taking place in the early photosynthesis history.

A scientific group from Australia’s top research university has invented a new sulphur lithium battery claimed to be the most efficient of the kind. The innovative solution is expected to increase EVs’ driving range to a thousand kilometers or even more.

Lithuanian researchers claim to have dramatically improved the performance of a perovskite-based copper indium gallium selenide solar cell they developed with the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. The improved efficiency, they claim, was achieved thanks to one of the most recently developed monolayers used for experiments on the cell.

The scientific group from US has been performing the tests during 5 years, collecting data on solar panel performance and weather data.

Nano One has been issued a Taiwanese patent relating to lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) cathode material, that eliminates cobalt from the battery
