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 […]

Perovskite Solar Cell Tech Hits A New Record Efficiency

February 22, 2022 | Leave a Comment

A National University of Singapore research team has set a new record in the power conversion efficiency of solar cells made using perovskite and organic materials. Their latest work demonstrated a power conversion efficiency of 23.6%, approaching that of conventional silicon solar cells. This technological breakthrough paves the way for flexible, light-weight, low cost and […]

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 […]
