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 ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have set a world record for selenium solar cells, achieving 10.3% efficiency for the first time above the 10% threshold. The breakthrough was enabled by ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia investigated the impact of UV-induced degradation (UVID) in solar cells based on tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) design.

It was found that the onion-dye film performed best, blocking 99.9% of UV light with a wavelength of up to 400 nanometers. That said, it still allowed over 80% of visible light transmission at longer ...

Researchers developed a solar collector with a dielectric Bragg mirror, optimizing energy conversion by separating sunlight ...

A new generation of 3D-printed solar cells could let buildings generate power through colorful, semi-transparent windows ...
