Researchers working with copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells reported a 20.4 percent efficiency result on flexible polymer films, a level that underscores how far high-performance thin ...

Researchers have pushed all-perovskite tandem solar cells past the 30% efficiency threshold, a long-sought target that puts this emerging technology in direct competition with the best conventional ...

Researchers at ICMS in Seville have developed a hybrid perovskite solar cell that generates electricity from both sunlight and raindrops, using the photovoltaic and triboelectric effects. A ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

Researchers from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea announced a new process to make bifacial narrow band copper, indium, selenium (CuInSe₂) solar cells. A ...
