Stacking solar cells increases their efficiency. Working with partners in the EU-funded PERCISTAND project, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have produced perovskite/CIS tandem solar cells with an efficiency of nearly 25 percent – the highest value achieved thus far with this technology.
A well-known renewable energy source is solar cell technology. Due to its ability to be printed and mounted to building exteriors or glass windows, organic solar cells, which are a component of the third generation of solar cells, are drawing attention as a key technology for generating solar energy in urban areas.
A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal ACS Energy Letters that demonstrated the feasibility of using luminescence imaging to identify macroscopic heterogeneities in perovskite solar cells.
3D-Micromac AG, the industry leader in laser micromachining and roll-to-roll laser systems for the semiconductor, photovoltaic (PV), medical device and electronics markets, today announced that it has received a multi-system order for its microCELL™ MCS high-throughput laser cutting solution to support Enel Green Power’s TANGO 3-Gigawatt (GW) solar plant expansion project at its 3Sun Gigafactory in Catania, Sicily – set to become Europe’s largest factory producing high-performance bifacial PV modules.
Writing in Energies, a team of researchers from the University of Huddersfield and the University of York in the UK has investigated weak spot prediction methods for photovoltaic solar cell technologies.
In an article recently published in the journal Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, researchers discussed the recent improvements in semiconductor photocatalysts and their utility in wastewater treatment.
In an article recently published in the journal Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, researchers discussed the Dohelert design (DOE)-based green synthesis optimization of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for dye photodegradation application.
An article published in ACS Energy Letters provides an overview of the first-ever 2T perovskite/CIS TSC with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) approaching 25%.
Professor Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology demonstrated in 2010 that the use of piezoelectric materials (materials that generate electrical energy when mechanical strain is applied) could improve the performance of optoelectronic devices (devices that convert light into electricity like solar cells) or electricity into light as in light-emitting diodes or LEDs.
Lightweight as a window cling and replicable as a newspaper, organic solar cells are emerging as a viable solution for the nation's growing energy demand.
