A group of researchers at the Universidad de los Andes en Colombia have developed for the first time an inverted perovskite solar cell with a hole transport layer (HTL) based on nickel oxide (NiOx) ...

A research group in Nigeria has proposed to build n-type heterojunction planar inverted perovskite solar cells without using transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) for the passivate contacts. The ...

The global photovoltaic (PV) industry is entering a phase defined less by headline capacity additions and more by incremental but compounding improvements in efficiency, reliability, and ...

China has quietly pulled off a feat that solar engineers have chased for years, pushing a new cell design to record efficiency by hiding its most important features beneath the surface. Instead of ...

Scheme showing part of a singlet fission-sensitized silicon solar cell. Absorption of a high-energy photon by the tetracene layer produces a singlet exciton. This singlet exciton undergoes singlet ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light utilization efficiency, outperforming all previous transparent photovoltaic ...
