A research team from the City University of Hong Kong has developed an integrated PV-powered battery (PVB) for portable electronics that can purportedly achieve ...

A Kuwait University research team compared the effects on perovskite film grain-size, crystallinity, surface roughness, defects, and related solar cell performance of helium and argon quenching gases ...

When British solar manufacturer Oxford PV shipped the first commercial order of perovskite-silicon solar cells last September, it was touted as a breakthrough in the industry. The news marked a ...

Perovskite-based solar cells offer higher efficiency and lower production costs, but, until now, they degrade quickly in outdoor environments. New developments that extend their life may enable ...

Commercial silicon solar panels typically have lifetimes between 20 and 25 years, setting a benchmark for competing photovoltaic (PV) technologies. To compete to the same degree, alternative PV ...

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 ...

Tandem PV raised US$50 million to support development of a perovskite-silicon manufacturing plant in March. Image: Tandem PV. The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded a US$4 million grant to ...
