What can be learned from private sector delivery models?
Fully Solution-Processed Solar Cells
One of the most promising next-generation photovoltaic technologies is the Organo–lead halide perovskite solar cells. These solar cells have reached very high power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of more than 22% and in addition, their semiconducting perovskite layer...
Production of High Efficiency Solar Cells Goes Green
An environment-friendly anti-solvent helps to produce higher efficiency Solar Cells in comparison to the commonly used toxic anti-solvent.
Ion Migration Suppressed in Mixed Perovskite Solar Cells
Phase competition in mixed perovskites can be resolved by this dual ion exchange process, which passivates grain boundaries and suppresses ion migration.
How to “Grow” a Solar Cell
Biophotovoltaic devices by incorporation of oriented Photosystem I via phage display.
From Solar Panel To Suntan Lotion: Bright New Research on Zinc Films
Avery easy, fast, and scalable one-step process for synthesis and deposition of porous ZnO nanocrystalline film by low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma is presented.
Solar Cells: Dual Role of Solar Power Generation and Storage
To make photogalvanic cells a reality in life for simultaneous solar power and storage, some challenges have to be tackled
Flexible Solar Cell for Wearable Electronics Produced by Green Printing Process
Fengyu Li and Yanlin Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their co-workers, have designed high-performance flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for wearable electronics using green printing technology.
Aqueous-Processed Hole-Transport Layer for High-Performance Solar Cells
Thomas D. Anthopoulos and colleagues report a simple, environmentally-friendly processing method for copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN), a next-generation hole-transport layer (HTL) for organic and hybrid perovskite solar cells. The power conversion efficiency reaches 17.5%—a remarkable improvement over conventional polymer HTLs.
Reducing Light-Induced Burn-In in Polymer Solar Cells
Jordi Matorell and co-workers achieve a longer lifetime of polymer solar cells by addressing the issue and mechanism of UV-induced “burn-in”, a phenomenon linked to rapid degradation of electron transport.
