A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

A set of peer-reviewed studies and federally funded research projects have shown that solar cells can double as curved mirrors, generating electricity and high-temperature heat from a single piece of ...

A new UNSW study shows that laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) can boost industrial TOPCon solar cell efficiency by ...

Approach by EPFL and CSEM combines two thin-film perovskite cells and one silicon cell.

Given the outstanding impact of , Frontiers in Energy Research is pleased to launch Volume II of this successful Research Topic. Emerging thin-film solar ...

Solar power is already a cleaner energy source than traditional dirty fuels, but a team of researchers from Tohoku University has made a breakthrough that could make solar even cleaner, according to ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the past few years, energy engineers have been exploring alternative designs that ...

The development of copper bismuth sulfide (Cu3BiS3) thin films represents a promising avenue for next‐generation solar cell absorbers. Owing to their high optical absorption, appropriate direct band ...

An international study found that the specific power of commercial silicon solar modules increased from 8.5 W/kg in the early ...
