Solar cells convert three-quarters of the energy contained in the Sun‘s spectrum into electricity — yet the infrared spectrum is entirely lost in standard solar cells. In contrast, black silicon solar ...

Combining two materials that selectively absorb short and long wavelengths, e.g., blue/green and red/infrared parts of the spectrum, makes the best use of our sunlight and is a well-known strategy to ...

Scientists in China built a four-terminal perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell based on a top semi-transparent perovskite device with an efficiency of 21.26% and a high bifaciality factor of 92.2%. They ...

A future Moon base is closer to reality than ever before. With missions like Artemis 3 planned for 2026 and a lunar outpost on the horizon, one challenge stands in the way: energy. Getting enough ...

The devices also demonstrated improved operational stability. The new cells were subjected to long-duration testing, ...
