Imagine being able to spray or paint bridges, houses and skyscrapers with the material, which would then capture light, turn it into energy and feed it into the electrical grid. That’s where... Read more
A new type of material for next-generation solar cells eliminates the need to use lead, which has been a major roadblock for this technology. Solar cells, incorporating the mineral perovskit... Read more
Next-generation solar cells that mimic photosynthesis with biological material may give new meaning to the term “green technology.” Adding the protein bacteriorhodopsin (bR) to p... Read more
Researchers have used a graphite coating that makes perovskite solar cells waterproof. A cheaper, cleaner and more sustainable way of making hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight is a step... Read more
Formamidinium lead iodide is a very good material for photovoltaic cells, but getting the correct and stable crystal structure is a challenge. The techniques developed so far have produced r... Read more
A perovskite solar module the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which is nearly six times bigger than 10×10 cm2 modules of that type reported before, has been developed by Swansea Universit... Read more
Spray Coating Could Make Perovskite an Inexpensive Alternative to Silicon for Solar Panels An international team of university researchers today reports solving a major fabrication challenge... Read more
A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has presented a highly stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs), using edged-selectively fluorine (F) functionalized graphene nano-platelets (EFGnPs). This... Read more
EPFL scientists have greatly improved the operational stability of perovskite solar cells by introducing cuprous thiocyanate protected by a thin layer of reduced graphene oxide. Devices lost... Read more
A Korean research team has developed semi-transparent perovskite solar cells that could be great candidates for solar windows. Scientists are exploring ways to develop transparent or semi-tr... Read more
EPFL scientists have built a low-cost and ultra-stable perovskite solar cell that has been running at 11.2% efficiency for over a year, without loss in performance. Perovskite solar cells pr... Read more
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a new perovskite ink with a long processing window that allows the scalable pr... Read more
A breakthrough in solar power could make it cheaper and more commercially viable, thanks to research at the University of Warwick. Solar cells can be made with tin instead of lead, Warwick s... Read more
Solar cells made from an inexpensive and increasingly popular material called perovskite can more efficiently turn sunlight into electricity using a new technique to sandwich two types of pe... Read more
Researchers have created a new type of solar cell that replaces silicon with a crystal called perovskite. This design converts sunlight to electricity at efficiencies similar to current tech... Read more
