Over the past few decades, solar cells have become increasingly widespread, with a growing number of individuals and businesses worldwide now relying on solar energy to power their homes or operations ...

Understanding the passivation process in semiconductor manufacturing is essential before unpacking the specifics of glass as a material. Passivation involves applying a protective layer to the surface ...

Researchers report on a new defect passivation strategy for improved power conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Polycrystalline formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI 3), widely ...

The ionic defects at the surfaces and grain boundaries of organic–inorganic halide perovskite films are detrimental to both the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, we show that ...

A group of scientists from the Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE has proposed a new metric to assess the performance of shingled solar panels. They also applied the so-called passivated edge technology (PET) ...

The method can produce cells with an efficiency of 33.1%. Image: University of Freiburg/Silvia Wolf. Scientists from Germany and Saudi Arabia have discovered that perovskite thin-film cells are ...
