A simulation study finds that pairing serrated textures at the front interface and back electrode of all-perovskite tandem solar cells cuts reflection-induced photocurrent losses by 18.34 percent and is expected to raise efficiency to about 31.13 percent. Subject of Research: Optical simulation…
A computational study designed three P3CPenT-based donor–acceptor molecules whose calculated energy gaps, visible-light absorption and theoretical efficiency descriptors outperform the parent compound as candidate hole transport materials for perovskite solar cells. Subject of Research: Computational design of P3CPenT-based hole…
Crystals in the lab aren’t gemstones. They’re materials built from atoms arranged in precise, repeating patterns. That atomic order lets crystals absorb light, move charge and convert energy, enabling technologies from LEDs and solar cells to the sensors in everyday…
Atomic-scale imaging reveals how vacancy chemistry and lattice strain shape the birth and behavior of copper nanoparticles inside perovskite oxides. In a recent article in Nature Communications, researchers describe the nanoscale mechanisms of metal nanoparticle exsolution from perovskite oxides by…
A PRISMA-guided review of 105 studies argues that moisture-driven degradation, not efficiency, is the key barrier facing perovskite solar cells and calls for retention-focused benchmarking. Subject of Research: AI-assisted SCAPS-1D modeling of hydrophilic degradation and efficiency retention in perovskite solar cells…
Simulations predict that a lead-free Cs₂TeI₆ perovskite photodetector could run without external bias and reach 90 percent external quantum efficiency at 400 nm for visible light communication receivers.
Dutch research and technology organisation TNO, its spin‑off Perovion Technologies and Japan’s Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Ltd (TYO:5901) have agreed to advance their joint development of flexible perovskite solar cells towards commercialisation. Strong winds, higher power prices boost Vattenfall's…
Researchers identified perovskite lattice compliance as a descriptor of photothermal stability, enabling bifacial tandem cells that retained 90% efficiency after 1,000 hours of stress testing. Bifacial perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells that capture light from both faces could deliver more power per…
