An international team of researchers led by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Germany investigated combining continuous electric bias with dark storage as an accelerated ...

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

The team has set up a unique measuring station on the roof of a research building at HZB to investigate different solar cells under real weather conditions, including standard perovskite solar cells.

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

The CuBert paste was used on an M10 solar cell with a conversion efficiency of 24%. Image: Bert Thin Films. Kentucky-based Bert Thin Films has used a proprietary copper paste on a tunnel oxide ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. Researchers created solar cells made out of simulated Moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, ...
