For the first time, this efficiency for perovskite-on-silicon-tandem solar cells has been exceeded thanks to a joint effort led by scientists at EPFL’s Photovoltaics and...

New approach to exploit the full potential of organic solar cells.

Australian researchers have developed a device that can generate electricity from thermal radiation based on similar technology to night-vision goggles.

As the density of charge carriers increases, it linearly narrows the energy gap that electrons need to vault.

Terahertz and microwave spectroscopy determine the mobility and lifetime of the charge carriers in new semiconducting materials.

German researchers show that standard silicon cells are also suitable as a basis for tandem cells with perovskite top cells.

Perovskite solar modules with the new optics reached a very high efficiency of up to 14 percent.

New analysis can provide design principles for future solar cells to approach the Shockley-Queisser efficiency limit.
