Solar cells could be based on iron molecules in future

Researchers at Lund University have explained how iron-based dyes work on a molecular level in solar cells. The new finding is expected to accelerate the development of inexpensive and environmentally friendly solar cells. With the integration of iron instead of other more expensive and rare metals, the production of solar cells and light catchers will […]

This new material keeps solar cells cool while still catching lights

Solar cells capture sunlight and turn it into electricity, but most of the surplus energy turns into heat, which actually harms the solar cell and interestingly solar cells are only about 20 percent efficient. Researchers at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA have come out with a technology to keep the solar cells cool. The […]

Fullerene-free Polymer solar cells manufactured using low-cost printing technology sets a new world record

Researchers at Linköping University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed cheaper and more reliable polymer solar cells. In recent years, polymer solar cells have emerged as a low cost alternative to silicon solar cells. In order to obtain high efficiency, fullerenes are usually required in polymer solar cells to separate charge carriers. […]

MIT researchers demonstrates thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated thinnest, flexible, and lightweight solar cell ever produced. The team used parylene flexible polymer as substrate and overcoating, and an organic material called DBP as the primary light-absorbing layer. Parylene is used to protect implanted biomedical devices and printed circuit boards from environmental damage. Researches note […]

Multi-Directional Solar Cells Can Harvest Sunlight from Various Angles

Commercial solar panels work best when daylight hits them at a sure point. Recently, specialists had implied that solar panels confront south to gather the most energy from the sun. In another case, a significant 2013 report by Pecan Road prompted that systems leaning westward to boost proficiency. Further investigation has found that deciding the […]
