Commercial silicon-based solar cells have made significant improvements in efficiency over the past decade, increasing from around 15% efficiency in 2015 to just shy of 25% in 2025. Subscribe to our ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...

Solar cells, devices that can generate electricity from sunlight, are already helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions in many countries worldwide. In recent years, energy engineers have been assessing ...

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 ...

The introduction of a nanometric germanium oxide layer drastically improved device performance and stability. As the global demand for clean energy accelerates, solar power continues to attract ...

Researchers from Canada have developed solar cells that boast a record-breaking open circuit voltage. The solar cell design features indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), ...

A new method could make perovskite solar cells last longer and work better using special liquids. Could this be the key to ...

Researchers have developed a new type of back-contact solar cell design that will enable scalable, low-cost manufacturing as it uses a perovskite material and tiny grooves embossed into plastic film.

An international research team has conducted an extensive review of all back-contact (BC) solar cell types in an effort to accelerate their commercial development. The scientists grouped the cell ...

Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...
