Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...
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 ...
Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...
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, ...
Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...
Japanese researchers developed a molybdenum-based spin-flip emitter that efficiently harvests triplet excitons from singlet-fission tetracene dimers, producing strong near-infrared emission. This ...
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 ...
