Photovoltaic (PV) solutions, which are designed to convert sunlight into electrical energy, are becoming increasingly ...

A research team from the Shanghai-based East China University of Science and Technology has achieved a major breakthrough by identifying the key mechanism behind this instability. The researchers have ...

They uncovered the key mechanism behind the instability of such cells, and developed a novel solar cell device that can operate for a record-breaking 3,670 hours. The operation was under standard ...

However, the thiocyanate can also accelerate the degradation of the perovskite solar cell in the process of ... the actual diffusion and degradation mechanism, according to Jayawardena.

“We believe through a more comprehensive understanding of the defect formation mechanism in this material ... industrial manufacturing.” The new solar cell concept was introduced in the ...

Finally, the cell bears an antireflective coating, which ensures that photons—the particles of sunlight needed to generate solar power—are absorbed by the silicon layers and not reflected away.

The multi-disciplinary experimental and theoretical approach employed by the researchers identified the mechanism responsible for Light Induced Degradation (LID ... The electronic charge within the ...

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in organic solar cell technology ... In addition to addressing the loss mechanism, this novel methodology shows promise for incorporating this ...

As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity. On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source.
