New hybrid perovskite solar cell boasts long life and high efficiency

In the world of solar cell technology, perovskite materials are poised to take on the current reigning champion silicon, but their stability is holding them back. Now, scientists in China have developed a new type of hybrid perovskite.

US scientists improve photoresponsivity in solar cells by 250%

U.S. researchers claim to have increased the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite for solar cell applications by 250%. 

Perovskite and organic solar cells tested in space

Researchers have sent perovskite and organic solar cells on a rocket into space. The solar cells withstood the extreme conditions in space which will set the foundation for future near-Earth application and deep space missions.

Breakthrough in new material to harness solar power

Physicists are pushing the performance of solar cells to levels never before reached. The ultra-high efficiency material called a tandem perovskite solar cell is being developed to help solve the world energy crisis.

These ultra-stable, printable solar cells can last for more than 10,000 hours

A team of scientists has created a low cost, fully printable solar cell that has remained stable in real world conditions for over one year, moving these record breaking solar cells from the lab to the commercial world.

Next generation perovskite solar cells with new world-record performance

A new study finds key to produce perovskite solar cells that display both high efficiency (21.2%) and long-term stability (1,000 hours of light exposure).

Los Alamos Lab, US creates efficient, affordable 2D pervoskite cell

Researchers have come up with a new perovskite technology that could dramatically increase the efficiency and decrease the cost of solar cells.
