pv magazine: In “Solar Cells and Modules,” which was recently published by Springer, you dedicate a long chapter to amorphous silicon solar cells, which is very much still a niche technology reserved ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new approach to producing thin-film amorphous solar cells may enable products that deliver higher efficiency at a lower cost than today’s silicon-based solar panels. The latest automotive-grade ...

A new review highlights how disordered nanomaterials outperform crystals in solar-powered hydrogen production, CO? reduction, and pollutant degradation. (Nanowerk News) Photocatalysis—using sunlight ...
