Danish researchers have built a selenium solar cell with the highest open-circuit voltage ever reported. They said that with further improvements in the optoelectronic quality of selenium, the device ...

Scientists at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have demonstrated a triple-junction solar cell with a perovskite-perovskite-silicon subcell configuration. They said the cell ...

JA Solar’s Bycium+ cell has achieved a significant breakthrough, reaching a new high in cell efficiency and setting a new record with an open-circuit voltage of 748.6mV – the highest in the commercial ...

A schematic of a perovskite solar cell, showing that the perovskite is nestled in the center of the cell. Absorption of solar light causes the electrons to jump to higher energy levels, leaving the ...

The "artificial leaf" consists in principle of a solar cell that is combined with further functional layers. These act as electrodes and additionally are coated with catalysts. If the complex system ...

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, which may sound strange considering its value. The high cost of extracting oxygen from titanium ore is why products made from pure ...
