Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...
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 ...
A set of peer-reviewed studies and federally funded research projects have shown that solar cells can double as curved mirrors, generating electricity and high-temperature heat from a single piece of ...
Japanese researchers developed a molybdenum-based spin-flip emitter that efficiently harvests triplet excitons from ...
ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...
Solar power plays a major role in efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and address climate change. The Sun delivers an immense amount of ...
Perovskite solar cells are widely seen as the next big leap in photovoltaics. These devices use a special class of crystalline materials that convert ...
Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising technologies for making solar power cheaper and more efficient. Working with partners from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), DESY ...
