Startup Opportunities in Solar pv

Two key words that I would like to start: “startups” and “Rs.2.44/unit”. These have caught the attention of every educated citizen in the country. The first, for the opportunity of utilizing ones ideas and potential of doing something great; the other being the lowest tariff quoted in this month in solar PV under reverse bidding. […]

This new material removes water pollutants using solar power

Researchers have developed materials capable of absorbing the visible part of the solar spectrum – other materials, such as titanium dioxide, are also able to break down dyes using solar energy, but their efficiency is limited as they only absorb higher energy, ultra-violet light. Researchers at the Swansea University in the United Kingdom have developed […]

This solar paint can turn water vapor into hydrogen

The solar paint contains a newly developed compound that acts like silica gel, which is used in sachets to absorb moisture and keep food, medicines and electronics fresh and dry. But unlike silica gel, the new material, synthetic molybdenum-sulphide, also acts as a semi-conductor and catalyses the splitting of water atoms into hydrogen and oxygen. […]

Scientists are Developing 2-D Layered Hybrid Perovskites for Optoelectronic Performance

At the edges of the perovskite layers, the new research discovered “layer-edge-states,” which are key to both high efficiency of solar cells (>12 percent) and high fluorescence efficiency (a few tens of percent) for LEDs. Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory and their partners are developing innovative 2D layered hybrid perovskites that allow greater freedom […]
