P-type dye-sensitised solar cells (p-DSSCs) represent a promising class of photovoltaic devices that utilise p-type semiconductors – most commonly nickel oxide – as the photoactive electrode. These ...

The HIBC solar cell represents a novel approach to solar energy conversion, integrating both n-type and p-type contacts to enhance overall performance. In their study titled “Silicon solar cells with ...

UNSW researchers have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on PERC and TOPCon solar cell performance and have identified bulk lifetime degradation as main power loss cause. Their work ...

A group of scientists from Chinese solar module maker Longi has described in a new scientific paper the 27.81%-efficient hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell it unveiled in April 2025.

The company’s new scientific paper, published in Nature, reveals that its hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell achieved a record-breaking efficiency of 27.81%, marking a major step ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

KAUST developed a cooling technology that improves the longevity and power output of a solar cell. Image: KAUST. As solar projects spread across the world, it is no longer uncommon to see a project ...
