A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

L arge-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This can now be made ...

Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This can now be made possible through a new design principle developed at Linköping University ...

Ferroelectricity in solar cells can improve charge carrier separation and provide higher than bandgap device voltages. Here, first-principles calculations in strained BaZrS3 reveal ...

Too much, you say? It’s never enough! The problem is that the sun only outputs so much energy per unit of area on Earth, and solar cells can only be so efficient thanks to some fundamental ...

"The physical principle is the same ... and it may not need five years," he added. Flexible, printed solar cells offer a wide range of possibilities. They can work indoors and they can be made ...

Because unlike the energy-intensive and expensive production associated with crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar panels, perovskite cells utilize metal halide perovskites. These mate ...

A hole-transporting layer for perovskite solar cells with near-record efficiency has been developed using a machine learning ...
