Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

In a new study 'Flexoelectric domain walls enable charge separation and transport in cubic perovskites' published in Nature Communications, physicists at the Institute of Science and Technology ...

< ISTA physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites. Assistant Profe ... Copyright: © ISTA ...

Perovskite solar cells have just cleared a symbolic hurdle, with a new chemical strategy pushing single-junction devices ...

Researchers at NREL found that UV exposure can cause significant, partly non-recoverable degradation in TOPCon solar cells, with strong cell-to-cell and intra-cell variability linked to passivation ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...
