The standard antisolvent method for perovskite processing (left) produces granular films that allow bromides to move. The new gas-quench method produces a much more compact material that reduces bromide movement and improves performance and stability.
NREL Research Reveals Importance of Simultaneous Conditions To Determine Problem Areas
New low cost, high efficiency perovskite solar cells are hitting the market, just in time to take advantage of tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act.
A new technique produces perovskite nanocrystals right where they’re needed, so the exceedingly delicate materials can be integrated into nanoscale devices.
NREL Researchers Calculate Boost From Reflected Light Hitting Back of Device A bifacial perovskite solar cell, which allows sunlight to reach both sides of the device, holds the potential to produce higher energy yields at lower overall costs, according to scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy … [continued]
Hybrid solar panels that combine silicon and perovskites are breaking efficiency records in the lab. Can they make it into full scale commercial production?
The long wait for low-cost, high-performance perovskite solar cells is coming to a close. Now the fun begins.
First Solar has been around for, well, what seems like forever. It was founded in 1999, well before the solar boom took off and solar power became big business. Back then, there were all kinds of claims about how little solar power could ever contribute to the electricity supply. It … [continued]
To most CleanTechnica readers, perovskites are something used in solar panels to make electricity. Now it appears they may have other uses as well. Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK have recently published a report in the Journal of Cleaner Production with this catchy title: Cost effective … [continued]
NREL Calculates and Fabricates Perovskite-Based Technology With Ideal Transition Temperatures for Building Energy Savings The use of thermochromic windows in office buildings improves energy efficiency across all climate zones in the United States by modulating the temperature inside, leading to a massive savings, according to a research effort led by … [continued]
