Solar steam and vapor generation are currently gaining increased attention with promising prospect in chemical purification, sterilization and desalination.
EPFL Researchers have constructed an economical and ultra-stable perovskite solar cell that has been operating at 11.2% efficiency for more than a year, without loss in performance.
Metamaterial Technologies Inc. has signed a $5.6M agreement with Lockheed Martin, which represents Lockheed Martin’s first solar investment in Canada.
A new method that allows obtaining highly crystalline organic-inorganic perovskite films for solar cells has been elaborated by members of the Laboratory of New Materials for Solar Energetics, working at the Faculty of Material Sciences. In association with their colleagues from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. The findings of this project are published in the Materials Horizons.
A collaborative team of Researchers from Lund University in Sweden and from Fudan University in China have been successful in designing a new structural organization using the potential solar cell material perovskite.
Perovskite is a new and promising material in terms of solar cell development, and devices using these compounds have already dramatically increased in efficiency, from a mere 3.8% in 2009 to an impressive 22.1% in early 2016.
The COMBO-CFB project, led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has developed a novel concept to increase the production of solar energy in the energy system. According to this research, this concept can reduce emissions and fuel consumption, stressing the climate by more than 33%.
A research team from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) along with their European partners plans to build an advanced sulfur-based storage system for solar power. Mass chemical storage of solar power and its overnight use as a fuel are to be realized by means of a closed sulfur-sulfuric acid cycle.
Perovskites are materials that have currently gained immense interest in solar energy technology as they prove to reduce the cost of solar cells to extremely low levels. Their efficiency majorly depends on the ability of individuals to control their deposition into films, however, the factors that influence the synthesis of perovskites are yet to be fully understood.
EPFL and CSEM researchers in Neuchâtel have developed a new amazing process for creating crystalline solar cells using electrical contacts at the rear, suppressing all shadowing at the front.
