The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a high‑stakes engineering sprint that will shape how quickly the global energy ...

UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future solar panels cheaper, more efficient and more durable.

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

Researchers from KAUST, TU Delft, and LMU Munich have improved the performance of monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by modifying the physical structure at the front of the bottom ...

Perovskite solar cells offer much higher efficiency than silicon. Cambridge researchers have developed a far more stable perovskite structure, stacking ultra-thin layers at atomic precision to improve ...

What if the future of solar energy wasn’t just brighter but fundamentally redefined? Imagine a world where solar panels are not only more efficient but also cheaper, more durable, and adaptable to ...

Achieving record efficiency in perovskite solar cells, a new study demonstrates the role of solvent dynamics in optimizing film crystallization and stability.

Engineers at Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) have claimed to have achieved a new world record for photovoltaic efficiency using high-bandgap kesterite solar cells (CZTS). The ...
