Perovskite solar cells have gained considerable momentum in the search for cheaper, more efficient solar energy. However, the ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

ISTA physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites. Left to right: Assistant Professor Zhanybek Alpichshev and postdoc Dmytro Rak. Despite being riddled with ...

It is common for solar panels to be shaded by trees, clouds, birds or buildings. For thin-film solar technologies, however, ...
