New Build Technique Improves Perovskites By 250 Percent
February 21, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A University of Rochester research team has proposed a novel, physics-based approach, using a substrate of either a layer of metal or alternating layers of metal and dielectric material for perovskite based solar cells. Researchers typically synthesize perovskites in a wet lab, and then apply the material as a film on a glass substrate […]

Stabilized Efficient Scalable Perovskite Solar Cells
January 24, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… The ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science demonstrated a new pathway to creating durable, efficient perovskite photovoltaics at industrial scale. The process uses the first effective use of lead acetate as a precursor in making formamidinium-caesium perovskite solar cells. The team at Exciton Science, based at Monash University, were able to create perovskite […]

Tough Stable Perovskite Design Now Compares To Silicon
January 12, 2023 | Leave a Comment
ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science researchers have demonstrated a new way to create stable perovskite solar cells, with fewer defects and the potential to finally rival silicon solar cell’s durability. The team, led by Professor Henry Snaith (Oxford University) and Professor Udo Bach (Monash University), has its results published in the journal Nature […]

New World Record Set For Tandem Solar Radiation Cells
December 21, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) researchers reported a new world record for tandem solar cells consisting of a silicon bottom cell and a perovskite top cell. The new tandem solar cell converts 32.5 percent of the incident solar radiation into electrical energy. The certifying institute European Solar Test Installation (ESTI) in Italy measured […]

Finding and Harvesting Electricity Within Plants
December 20, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at Technion in Israel figured out how to harvest the electrons plants produce and extract the current. By collecting electrons naturally transported within plant cells, the scientists can generate electricity as part of a ‘green,’ biological solar cell. Now the research team has used a succulent plant to create a living ‘bio-solar cell’ that […]
