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) […]

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)… A University of Massachusetts Amherst engineering team has recently shown that nearly any material can be turned into a device that continuously harvests electricity from humidity in the air. Researchers describe the ‘generic Air-gen effect’- nearly any material can be engineered with nanopores to harvest, cost effective, scalable, interruption-free electricity. The secret lies in […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Technical University of Munich (TUM) researchers use artificial photosynthesis that may produce syngas (synthetic gas) for the large-scale chemical industry and be able to charge batteries. Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers have applied this principle as artificial photosynthesis for the basis for developing new sustainable processes. The paper describing […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Danish researchers at Aarhus University have developed a chemical process that can disassemble the epoxy composite of wind turbine blades – and simultaneously extract intact glass fibers as well as one of the epoxy resin’s original building blocks in a high quality. The recovered materials could potentially be used in the production of new […]
