US researchers have designed a 2D solar cell based on TMDCs that may exceed by far the efficiency of this device typology, which usually doesn’t exceed 6%. The novelty of this cell consists of its ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have rapidly emerged as one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies due to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE), which has surpassed 26% in ...

Even as solar researchers strive to squeeze every drop of efficiency from the industry-ruling silicon solar-cell technology, scientists are constantly questing for the next, cheaper, more efficient ...

Engineers at Rice University, Houston, Texas, US, say they have achieved “a new benchmark” in the design of atomically thin solar cells made of semiconducting perovskites, boosting their efficiency ...
