Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have set a world record for selenium solar cells, achieving 10.3% efficiency for the first time above the 10% threshold. The breakthrough was enabled by ...

An international research team has investigated the impact of intrinsic point defects in selenium solar cells and has concluded that these defects are not responsible for voltage deficit. The ...

Combining two semiconductor thin films into a tandem solar cell can achieve high efficiencies with a minimal environmental footprint. Teams have now presented a CIGS-perovskite tandem cell that sets a ...
