Disorder Engineered Inorganic Nanocrystal Solar Cells
March 30, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at The Institute of Photonic Sciences report on a novel disorder-engineering technique for inorganic solar cells that achieves a record-breaking power conversion efficiency. Now displayed over roof tops and in solar farms, silicon-based solar cells are, so far, one of the most efficient systems in generating electricity from sunlight, but their fabrication can be […]

Breakthrough In Perovskite Solar Cells
July 10, 2018 | 1 Comment
University of Surrey researchers believe their new technique has produced the highest performing inverted perovskite solar cell ever recorded. Perovskite based cells are widely expected to be the next generation of solar cells, offering similar power conversion efficiency (PCE) performance, but at a much lower cost than today’s dominant crystalline silicon based solar cells. In […]

Discovery Boosts Perovskite Solar Cells By Curing Defects
April 25, 2018 | 1 Comment
Rice University scientists have discovered a novel phenomenon of light-induced lattice expansion in perovskite materials. The lattice expansion cures bulk and interface defects, which leads to an enhancement of perovskite optoelectronic properties. In a collaboration led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory found that to be the case with a perovskite compound touted […]
