A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

That's why this mission set out to test how the new tandem solar cells would hold up in the intense environment of space, 580 miles over the surface of the Earth, where they'd be bombarded with ...

Fluxim, a Swiss research and development (R&D) instrument manufacturer, has added a stress test module specifically for perovskite solar cells to its compact optoelectrical characterization tool ...

The breakthrough findings are published in the journal "Science." Scientists use AI tech to make significant leap in energy ...

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...

The researchers built the cell with a hole transport layer (HTL) based on PEDOT:PSS and were reportedly able to reduce the ...
