A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...

In most industrialized countries, solar panels account for only a quarter to a third of the overall cost of building a solar farm. All the other expenses—additional hardware, financing, installation, ...

Fig.2 Crystal structure characterization of tin perovskites films. (a) GIWAXS patterns of PEABr and PEABr-PEASCN films. (b) GIWAXS intensity integrated azimuthally. (c) XRD patterns of tin perovskite ...

Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has shared results from its five-year lighthouse project MaNiTU. The project, involving six Fraunhofer institutes, worked to identify the ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

As the price of silicon panels has continued to come down, we’ve reached the point where they’re a small and shrinking cost of building a solar farm. That means that it might be worth spending more to ...
