New method for converting solar energy into electrical power using photo-bioelectrochemical cells
A new paradigm for the development of photo-bioelectrochemical cells has been developed.
Researchers use neutrons to gain insight into battery inefficiency
Lithium ions are depleted as a battery charges and are also lost to the formation of a thin coating on a battery’s anode. Researchers used powerful neutron science facilities to try to understand the dynamics behind this phenomenon.
Pushing the limits of solar cells
Scientists have introduced a new strategy for generating more efficient solar cells.
New research puts us closer to DIY spray-on solar cell technology
A new study puts us closer to do-it-yourself spray-on solar cell technology—promising third-generation solar cells utilizing a nanocrystal ink deposition that could make traditional expensive silicon-based solar panels a thing of the past.
New approaches for hybrid solar cells
Using a new procedure researchers can now produce extremely thin and robust, yet highly porous semiconductor layers. A very promising material — for small, lightweight, flexible solar cells, for example, or electrodes improving the performance of rechargeable batteries.
Green storage for green energy
Researchers have demonstrated a safe and affordable battery capable of storing energy from intermittent sources — like rooftop solar panels — that is suitable for the home.
