Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

The research group led by Professor Martin Green has published Version 68 of the solar cell efficiency tables. There are 21 new results reported in the new version.

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

CAS-led researchers developed a peak-selective passivation strategy using aluminum oxide nanocoating to solve leakage issues in pyramid-textured silicon for perovskite–silicon tandem cells. The method ...

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 ...
