Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching ...

An international team has utilized an n-type polymeric additive to stabilize C60 molecules for use in inverted perovskite PV cells. Thanks to this approach, the researchers built a solar cell with the ...

Earlier in 2025, Chinese solar manufacturer Longi announced it had built the world's most efficient solar cell. The hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) cell achieved 27.81% efficiency, which was ...

Topics include accelerating beyond module assembly to promote investment and creation of new wafer and cell capacity in the U.S. Figure: Ownership and location of factories producing solar cells for ...

Researchers at the Huaqiao University in China have fabricated a four-terminal (4T) perovskite-silicon solar cell with a top cell based on a perovskite material with an energy bandgap of 1.67 and ...
