UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

A group of researchers led by the Nanjing University in China has designed a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with a new solvent engineering strategy that utilizes n-butanol (nBA), which is also ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Can you briefly explain what transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is and why it is important? Transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is a pump-and-probe technique used to study the absorption of ...

The 1cm² cells, pictured, achieved a record-breaking 27.06% power conversion efficiency. Image: University of Sydney. Scientists from the University of Sydney have created what they claim is the ...
