New research has uncovered a critical challenge in solar energy with the discovery that a considerable number of solar panels degrade much more rapidly than expected. About a fifth of solar panels ...

A collaboration between a team led by RASEI Fellow Mike McGehee at the University of Colorado Boulder and scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), just published in the ...

The study, published in Materials Future, demonstrates how thermal stress in both darkness and under light can significantly impact the durability of these solar cells. Perovskite materials, ...

The Australian scientists designed the cell with a sodium sulfide additive to achieve uniform sulfur and selenium distribution, improving charge transport. This controlled elemental layering reduces ...

A study from the University of Michigan found that carbon-based solar cells, referred to as organic solar cells, may outperform conventional silicon solar cells and gallium-arsenide solar cells in ...
