Japan is pushing solar hydrogen into a new phase by teaching its materials to drink in colors of sunlight that used to go to waste. Instead of relying only on the most energetic visible wavelengths, ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...
