Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea.

A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

Organic solar cells have long promised a future of lightweight, flexible energy harvesting, but their tendency to degrade ...

< ISTA physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites. Assistant Profe ... Copyright: © ISTA ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Even moderate stability improvements greatly reduce organic solar cell replacement frequency, waste and operating costs, the researchers said. Organic cells tend to be more flexible, lighter and less ...

FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, February 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A bilayer perovskite strategy improves ...
