Global electricity use is increasing rapidly and must be addressed sustainably. Developing new materials could give us much ...

Quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductor crystals, typically ranging from 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter. At this scale, the materials exhibit unique optical and electronic properties due to the ...

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells achieve remarkable efficiencies (> 26%) yet face stability challenges. Quasi-2D alternating-cation-interlayer perovskites offer enhanced stability ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum ...

Engineers discovered hidden cracks in flexible electronics and proposed a new design that could make foldable devices and solar cells more durable.

Scientists at the European XFEL research facility have directly observed atomic-scale deformations inside solar cell materials using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser for the first time. The ...

Researchers in China have investigated four strategies that minimize TOPCon solar cell surface recombination centers and improve light trapping performance. They identified alkali polishing with micro ...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a 2D/3D tin halide perovskite (THP) solar cell with a certified efficiency of 16.65% and peak performance of 17.13%, maintaining stable ...

The study is published in the journal ACS Nano. University of Michigan engineers have created a new nanostructure that can guide and stop excitons at room temperature. Excitons are quantum ...
