A new process yields 2D halide perovskite crystal layers of ideal thickness and purity through dynamic control of the crystallization process -- a key step toward ensuring device stability for ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

A team of researchers from Peking University has published a pair of papers on a new iodine technique that can boost perovskite solar cell efficiency to 24%. This is because perovskite solar cells ...

Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost in production. However, they still lack stability over the decades under real weather conditions. An international research collaboration has ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to silicon-based photovoltaic technologies. However, their widespread adoption is limited by poor environmental stability, as ...

Growth in the solar power sector is being driven not only by ever-larger utility-scale farms, but also by growth in distributed generation. This smaller-scale use of solar energy is being supported as ...

Yi Yang, the study's first author, tests a sample of the team's new solar cell in the lab at Northwestern University. Northwestern University scientists have developed a new protective coating that ...
