Perovskite solar cells have caught the attention of photovoltaic researchers due to their ability to be easily manufactured at a low cost. These solar materials can be applied in variousContinue Reading
Solar energy systems are now widespread in both industry and domestic housing. Most current systems rely on silicon to convert sunlight into useful energy. However, the energy conversion rate ofContinue Reading
The cost of solar power is sinking practically by the day, and the next new “hot” solar cell material — perovskite — will push costs down even more. So farContinue Reading
Perovskite solar cells are a mixture of organic molecules and inorganic elements within a single crystalline structure and can be bonded to a flexible backing, which means they can beContinue Reading
Hybrid perovskites solar cells hold promise to be more efficient in converting light into energy than traditional solar cell materials. They are also easier to manufacture as they can beContinue Reading
At Iowa State University, a research team is investigating hybrid perovskites that use inorganic materials like cesium in place of organics, a change that makes the cells stable at highContinue Reading
Researchers from China’s Xidian University are proposing to use waste lead from lead-acid batteries for the manufacturing of perovskite for solar cells. The proposed one-step process, which was tested inContinue Reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be just the thing to accelerate spray-on solar cell technology, which could revolutionize how consumers use energy. A research team at the University of Central FloridaContinue Reading
