While there is certainly a fair amount of warranted pessimism about the future of our planet, there is also warranted optimism – at least that’s what Professor Dong-Seon Lee of the Gwangju Institute ...

Researchers have significantly improved the performance of kesterite (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells. They developed a new method for doping silver (Ag) in solar cells to suppress defects that hinder ...

French scientists have studied the fabrication of silicon heterojunction cells with p-type wafers. With the adoption of gallium doping, the p-type products could come close to matching the performance ...

A group of researchers led by the University of Lahore in Pakistan have developed a solar cell based on an absorber made with a lead-free perovskite material known as Cs 2 AgBiBr 6. “The decrease in ...

A simple procedure can dramatically reduce the time required to process a promising type of solar cell. The procedure may reduce manufacturing time and costs and uses just one inexpensive reagent: CO ...

Perovskite solar cells have drawn a significant amount of research attention as a promising alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells, due to their efficiency in converting sunlight into ...

Jianfeng Lu is at State Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials for Architectures, Wuhan University of Technology, 430070 Wuhan, China, and at the Foshan Xianhu Laboratory of the Advanced Energy Science ...

High-concentration Li doping leads to the thickening of the fine grain layer and the formation of large voids at the back interface of the thin film. The introduction of Ag eliminates the fine grain ...

The integration of kesterite and perovskite in tandem solar cells achieves over 20% efficiency, paving the way for ...
