Scientists at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have demonstrated a triple-junction solar cell with a perovskite-perovskite-silicon subcell configuration. They said the cell ...

Crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, though dominating the photovoltaic market, are nearing their theoretical power ...

The open-circuit voltages of mature single-junction photovoltaic devices are lower than the bandgap energy of the absorber, typically by a gap of 400 mV. For CdTe, which has a bandgap of 1.5 eV, the ...

A recent study published in Light: Science & Applications introduced a new method for determining the PN junction depth in a silicon wafer. This technique works at nanometer-scale resolution and is ...

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan claim to have developed a tin(II) sulfide (SnS) solar cell with a high open-circuit voltage, due to an SnS interface exhibiting large band bending. The novel ...
