A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
In a study that unlocks exciting possibilities for solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on materials known as perovskites, RIKEN researchers have refined techniques for controlling the ...
An international team of researchers affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel cross-linker additive that significantly ...
That's why old solar panels end up in the landfill. Huge mountains of electronic waste that you can't do anything with," says Xun Xiao, postdoc at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology ...
The reasons are varied, but some factors are a lack of funding, and the improved efficiency of perovskite solar cells, which can ... him come from an applied chemistry background.
When exposed to heat and light, electric fields from solar cell components cause ions within the perovskite to migrate. Over time, mobile ions may accumulate at layer interfaces, causing chemical ...
