The researchers explained that conventional SAM molecules often suffer from excessive aggregation, resulting in uneven coverage on textured silicon surfaces. To address this limitation, they designed molecules with controlled molecular twisting and conjugation. They developed four SAM derivatives – TC0, TC1, TC2 and TC3 – based…
Professor Seong Sik Shin, who led the research, said, "This study is the world's first to develop a crystal-growth method based on a volatile eutectic mixture that fundamentally reduces defects in perovskites. Beyond realizing both a highly efficient solar cell…
A China-based research team modeled five perovskite architectures and found that a hemispherical cell with a textured rounded-cone front surface delivers stable power output across incidence angles from 0 to 50 degrees, with higher current density and over 95% light absorption than planar…
When a process needs a burst of heat, a steady supply may not be enough. Storing thermal energy and delivering it quickly are challenges for applications such as sterilization, cleaning or starting up distillation systems. To solve the problem, Rice…
A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has found a previously overlooked cause of ageing in perovskite solar cells exposed to light. The team has also developed a solution that effectively extends the cells’ lifetime, an important…
Panasonic said it has advanced its plans for full-scale mass production for glass-type perovskite solar cells by one year to April 2029 from 2030, according to a Tuesday release. The Japan-based... Panasonic Advances Full-Scale Perovskite Solar Cells Production to 2029 Published on 10/20/2026 at…
In organic solar materials, crowding is usually the enemy. Pack the molecules too tightly, and they stop glowing — bleeding off energy as heat instead of converting it into electricity. That quirk has quietly capped how efficient perovskite-organic tandem solar cells…
An outdoor monitoring campaign in Peshawar logged two semi-transparent perovskite building-integrated photovoltaic modules from October 2025 to January 2026, recording a 47.2 percent load-based efficiency decline for one module and 14.8 percent for the other alongside seasonal changes in solar resource.

The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), its perovskite solar spin-off Perovion Technologies and Japanese firm Toyo Seikan Group have agreed to further advance their joint development activities toward the industrialisation of lightweight, flexible perovskite solar cells. The three…
