Perovskite Solar Cells Beat New Records (In The Lab)
By James Wimberley News from the frontier of perovskite solar cell research: A team at China’s Huazhong University in Wuhan, working with pioneer Michael Grätzel at Lausanne, have fabricated cells without a hole transport layer, and done it by dripping a solution of the ingredients on to a carbon mesh. The cells … [continued]
Plastic “Graphene” Solves The Problem
A research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology has just come up with a novel solution to the graphene problem: no graphene! The finding could lead to a new generation of low cost, transparent solar cells.
More-Efficient Organic Solar Cells Coming Soon Thanks To New Research On Charge Separation
A new multi-university study focusing on the fundamental science of charge separation has resulted in a greatly improved understanding of the subject — an improved understanding that should lead to more-efficient organic solar cells in the near future, according to those involved. The new work has resulted in the creation … [continued]
Low-Cost Solar Cells Moving Closer Thanks To New Research On Electrodes
Low-cost solar cells appear to now be one step closer to becoming a commercial reality, based on the findings of new research from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST).
