Located 150 million km from the sun, Earth receives just one-billionth of the sun’s colossal power output. But even that tiny fraction—some 120,000 trillion W—showers Earth with more energy in one ...

The path that chemists typically follow to discover new materials is paved with decades of trial-and-error experiments. Guided by chemical intuition, researchers ...

Manufactured by scientists in Italy, the 3.88%-efficient organic solar panels are able to filter the light from the roofs of greenhouses. They are also capable of supplying a portion of the ...

Solar power looks set to play a growing role in our cities. With so many environmental and financial benefits to using solar power, it’s no surprise that it is playing a rapidly-growing role in the ...

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has exceeded 25%, approaching the best record of their silicon counterpart. However, lifetime ...

Dye-sensitized solar cells have been investigated intensively during the last three decades. Nevertheless, there are still many aspects to be explored to further improve their performance. Dye ...

Artificial photosynthetic systems use molecular light absorbers to convert sunlight into useful chemical fuels such as hydrogen, methanol, or ammonia. A key bottleneck in these systems is the ...

Abstract: Zinc oxide films doped with gallium (ZnG) were used as photoanodes in the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). To enhance the electrical parameters of DSSC and decrease the recombination rate ...

The Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) plays an important role because of low material cost, ease of production and high conversion efficiency as compared to other thin-film solar cell technologies. The ...
