Scientists at EPFL have successfully used X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to determine the electronic dynamics of photovoltaic materials. They have examined the trapping dynamics demonstrated by photogenerated electrons in titanium dioxide material.
The structure of a zinc-based buffer layer in a copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) solar cell has been determined. Knowing the buffer layer's structure has allowed the research team to identify a method of increasing solar cell efficiency.
Research highlights of the September 2015 issue of the University of Electro-Communications e-Bulletin include: innovative organolead halide perovskite solar cells solar cells with conversion efficiencies over 20%; quantum dot solar cells; analysis of apparently smooth movements that may help to understand jerky motor motion; and Professor Takayoshi Kobayashi’s pioneering research on ultrashort pulse lasers, ultrafast spectroscopy, and quantum information.
Stanford researchers have created a thin, transparent, patterned silica overlay capable of raising efficiency levels of solar cells by cooling them even when they are exposed to full sunlight.
A new Code of Practice which sets out the requirements for the design, specification, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the UK is to be published ...
Consumers aren't embracing electric cars and trucks, partly due to the dearth of charging stations required to keep them moving. Even the conservation-minded are hesitant to go electric in some states because, studies show, if fossil fuels generate the electricity, the car is no greener than one powered with an efficient gasoline.
The Ohio State University researchers have now achieved a milestone to success, following the debut of the world's first solar air battery the previous year. Their patent-pending design, which integrates both solar cell and battery into a single device is capable of achieving 20% energy savings when compared to conventional lithium-iodine batteries.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Rise of Perovskite Solar Cells 2015-2025" report to their offering.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have tested a new material design that enhances the ability of inexpensive solar panels to collect solar energy and release it in the form of electricity.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a new material based on porphyrine metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for photovoltaics.
