Now Blending Solar Cell Technology For Higher Power

January 14, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Hiroshima University researchers have blended together various polymer and molecular semiconductors as photo-absorbers to create a solar cell with increased power efficiencies and electricity generation. These types of solar cells, known as organic photovoltaics (OPV), are devices that generate electricity when light is incident upon their photo-absorbers. The efficiency of a solar cell is determined […]

Understanding How Alkali Metal Doped Solar Cells Work

November 24, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) scientists have discovered that the amount of alkali metal introduced into crystals of flexible thin-film solar cells influences the path that charge carriers take to traverse between electrodes, thereby affecting the light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of the solar cell. The press release asserts that given the immense application potential […]

Design Proposed For A Efficient Thin Film Solar Cell

October 29, 2020 | Leave a Comment

A Penn State research team suggests that using two thin films of different materials may be the way to go to create affordable, thin film cells with about 34% efficiency. Solar cells have come a long way, but inexpensive, thin film solar cells are still far behind the more expensive, crystalline solar cells in efficiency. […]
