A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

One problem in earlier perovskite solar cells was a high trap density in the material and its interfaces with charge-collecting layers, which disrupted the flow of charge and caused energy to be lost ...

A new "cosmic veil" developed by engineers at the University of Surrey could help perovskite solar cells survive in space, opening a new gateway to lighter, cheaper and more efficient solar power for ...

A KAIST research team has solved the "solar cell dilemma," in which increasing efficiency shortens lifespan, while extending ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the ...
