The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a high‑stakes engineering sprint that will shape how quickly the global energy ...

UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future solar panels cheaper, more efficient and more durable.

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Silicon solar cells were supposed to be running out of headroom, yet a new device has pushed their performance to 27.81% efficiency and reset expectations for what a single-junction cell can do. That ...

An international research group has published breakthrough findings demonstrating how the ionic compound caesium bromide (CsBr) can significantly improve the efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) ...

Engineers at Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) have claimed to have achieved a new world record for photovoltaic efficiency using high-bandgap kesterite solar cells (CZTS). The ...

Single-crystalline TiO2 nanorods excel at harvesting light and conducting charge, making them ideal for solar cells, photocatalysts, and sensors. However, traditional fabrication methods link rod ...

Perovskite solar cells offer much higher efficiency than silicon. Cambridge researchers have developed a far more stable perovskite structure, stacking ultra-thin layers at atomic precision to improve ...
