Perovskite solar cells surpass 20 percent efficiency
2016-06-09 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: EPFL researchers are pushing the limits of perovskite solar cell performance by exploring the best way to grow these crystals. Michael Graetzel and his team found that, by briefly reducing the pressure while fabricating perovskite crystals, they were able to achieve the highest performance ever measured for larger-size perovskite solar cells, reaching over 20% efficiency and matching the performance of conventional thin-film solar cells of similar sizes. Their results are published in Science. ...

Solar cells as light as a soap bubble
2016-02-28 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Imagine solar cells so thin, flexible, and lightweight that they could be placed on almost any material or surface, including your hat, shirt, or smartphone, or even on a sheet of paper or a helium balloon. Researchers at MIT have now demonstrated just such a technology: the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced. Though it may take years to develop into a commercial product, the laboratory proof-of-concept shows a new approach to making solar cells that could help power the next generation...
