A transparent solar cell can be made using straight-forward metal oxides, according to researchers at Incheon National University in Korea. The cell converts the ultra-violet portion of the sun’s ...

The researchers said the innovation could be a step toward wider adoption of solar power in places like parts of northern Europe where overcast skies are common. With further development, these solar ...

Scientists have discovered a more efficient way of storing the chemical compounds used in perovskite solar cells that could help make the manufacturing process more efficient and create less waste.

Long before perovskite solar cells began smashing efficiency records and transforming the future of clean energy, their ...

Solar power is one of the great success stories in the fight against climate change. The first proper solar panel was invented back in 1881, but in the last 15 years the technology has really taken ...

Taking light energy and converting it into electrical energy, the solar cell is an ecological device. The light absorbing material of a solar cell will lead to photogeneration of charge carriers and a ...

Researchers from The University of Manchester are using polystyrene particles rather than expensive polymers to make the next generation of solar cells, which are used to make solar panels, more ...

Scientists at SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre, Swansea University, have found a way to replace the toxic, unsustainable solvents currently needed to make the next generation of solar ...

The demand for cheaper, greener electricity means that the energy landscape is changing faster than at any other point in history. This is particularly true of solar-powered electricity and battery ...

Chinese researchers have taken what they say is a major step forward for the development of a new generation of solar cells. Manufacturers have long used silicon to make solar panels because the ...
