In the second interview of a series, Arvind Shah, a professor at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, told pv magazine about the challenges facing amorphous silicon cells. He said the tech could ...
A group led by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has created a material based on fullerene indanones (FIDO), which promises to improve the durability of next-generation solar cells. Durability ...
AMOLF researchers Erik Garnett, Susan Rigter, and colleagues are the first to have irrefutably demonstrated that amorphous perovskite exists. The material can significantly increase the efficiency of ...
A research team including scientits from the laboratory of nanomaterials at the Skoltech Center for Photonics and Quantum Materials in Moscow, Estonia’s Taltech University and the German Aerospace ...
A new review highlights how disordered nanomaterials outperform crystals in solar-powered hydrogen production, CO? reduction, and pollutant degradation. (Nanowerk News) Photocatalysis—using sunlight ...
Fine-tuning the thermal conductivity of amorphous silicon used in technologies such as solar cells and image sensors should become much easier thanks to the computational topology and machine-learning ...
An example of such a cell is that from United Solar Ovonic LLC. It uses three layers of amorphous silicon created so that each has a different bandgap energy. The different bandgaps let each layer ...
