They’ve developed a high-efficiency, high-stability hybrid solar cell that can capture near-infrared light. It’s particularly ...

Perovskite solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells. These cells have high efficiency, are flexible, and can be printed, among other features. However, lead was initially ...

Even with some other semiconductor material with a higher band gap, peak efficiency could only go as high as ... multiple solar together, each tuned to different wavelengths of light.

Radiation testing suggests that solar cells made from carbon-based, or organic, materials could outperform conventional silicon and gallium arsenide for generating electricity in the final frontier, a ...

A group of scientists led by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has designed a monocrystalline mini solar panel that can convert laser light into electricity.
