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 ...

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...

Crystalline silicon solar cells are made from silicon wafers grown using the Czochralski process (which produces single crystals of semiconductors). The wafers have a low Poisson’s ratio (0.28) 1, ...

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 ...
