Rice University engineers have created a device that “turns sunlight into hydrogen” with record-breaking efficiency. The device integrates next-generation halide perovskite semiconductors with electrocatalysts in a single, durable, cost-effective and scalable device. The press release believes the engineers have set a new standard for hydrogen technology. The device is factually a solar driven water splitting cell. […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the US jointly developed an innovative one-step solution-coating approach to manufacture perovskite solar cells. The solution simplifies the manufacturing process and lowers the commercialization barriers. The reporting paper has been published in Nature Energy. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) made a breakthrough by developing an innovative multifunctional and non-volatile additive which can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. The improvement comes by modulating perovskite film growth using a simple and effective strategy that has great potential for facilitating the commercialization […]

University of Cambridge scientists have now revealed an important reason why organic solar cells rapidly degrade in outdoor operation. Organic solar cells show great promise for clean energy applications. However, photovoltaic modules made from organic semiconductors do not maintain their efficiency for long enough under sunlight for real world applications. The reporting paper has been […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Ottawa’s laboratory in photonics and renewable energy has developed a new method for measuring the solar energy produced by bifacial solar panels. The double-sided solar technology is expected to meet increased global energy demands into the future. Published in the journal Joule, this study from the SUNLAB team in the Faculties of […]
