Solar Cells with Ferroelectric Crystal Lattice Produce 1,000 Times More Power Updated On Thu, Aug 5th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Germany, have developed a lattice arrangement of three different layers of ferroelectric crystals that induced a powerful effect in solar cells. The researchers believe that on integration with the ferroelectric crystal lattice, the solar cells can become thousand times more powerful. They say that combining ultra-thin layers of […] Read more
Researchers Make Case for Gallium-doped p-type Heterojunction Solar Cells Updated On Mon, Jul 26th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers of an Austrian-Russian research group have come out with a technique to make Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells based on P-type wafers more efficient and stable with Gallium-doping. These p-type, Gallium-doped wafers have proved to be 22.6% efficient, more stable, and cheaper than the usual n-type Phosphorus-doped Czochralski–grown silicon (Cz–Si) wafers. The scientists of the […] Read more
Kesterite Offers A Pathway To Greener Solar Cells Updated On Thu, Jun 3rd, 2021 by Saurenergy Kesterite is a natural mineral with many important material properties, including a band gap that can be used as a light absorber material for next generation thin-film solar cells. Unlike their perovskite-based competitor technologies, Kesterite solar cells are natural and non-toxic, making them them a truly eco-friendly alternative to the fully or partially inorganic materials, silicon and […] Read more
Carbon Dots From Human Hair Used to Boost Perovskite Solar Cells Updated On Tue, Apr 13th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers have used carbon dots created from human hair to create a kind of “armour” to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia have used carbon dots, created from human hair waste sourced from a Brisbane barbershop, to create a kind of “armour” to improve the […] Read more
MiaSolé, European Solliance Claim 26.5% Efficiency on Tandem Solar Cells Updated On Thu, Feb 18th, 2021 by Saurenergy Hanergy owned MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp and European Solliance Solar Research claim to have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell. The new record builds on their previous record in 2019. The architecture combines two thin-film solar cell technologies: a top rigid semi-transparent perovskite solar cell with a bottom flexible copper […] Read more
New Technology from PNU Makes Foldable Solar Cells a Practical Reality Updated On Fri, Feb 12th, 2021 by Saurenergy With the recent development of foldable mobile phone screens, research on foldable electronics has never been so intensive. One particularly useful application of foldable technology is in solar panels.
