Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...
A Dutch and U.S. research team performed optical and electrical simulations to understand loss mechanisms in two terminal (2T) tandem cells based on perovskite and commercially available copper-indium ...
In HJT cells, an n-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer is sandwiched between intrinsic amorphous silicon (i-a-Si:H) layers. The front is coated with n-type microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H), while ...
Researchers have significantly improved the performance of kesterite (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells. They developed a new method for doping silver (Ag) in solar cells to suppress defects that hinder ...
Researchers from Fraunhofer’s ‘MaNiTU’ project produced a perovskite silicon tandem solar cell with a conversion efficiency of 31.6% on an area of 1cm². Image: Fraunhofer ISE. In a joint project ...
