Oxford PV breaks record for solar power efficiency

Oxford PV sets new world record for the amount of the sun’s energy that can be converted into electricity by a single solar cell An Oxford-based lab has created a photovoltaic solar cell that it says has surpassed the efficiency that silicon can ever reach. Oxford PV, a spin-off from the University, says it has […]

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell with >29% efficiency

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell with >29% efficiency by enhanced hole extraction Efficiency from hole-selective contacts Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells must stabilize a perovskite material with a wide bandgap and also maintain efficient charge carrier transport. Al-Ashouri et al. stabilized a perovskite with a 1.68–electron volt bandgap with a self-assembled monolayer that acted as an efficient hole-selective […]

New light: Researchers extend the range of solar cell sensitivity

In a world-first, scientists in Australia and the United States have managed to upconvert light from below the silicon bandgap with the help of oxygen into high energy light that can be captured by silicon solar cells. With some parts of the light spectrum going unused by many of current devices and technologies, scientists in […]
