Solar energy is a popular candidate for a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. A solar cell, or photovoltaic (PV) cell, converts sunlight directly into electricity. However, the conversion efficiency has not been enough to enable widespread applications of solar cells. A fundamental limit to the maximum efficiency of PV devices is given […]
This work is led by Prof. Qingbo Meng, Prof. Dongmei Li (Institute of Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Dr. Hongshi Li (Nankai University). Interfacial stability and open-circuit voltage of perovskite solar cells have been mainly limited by defect states in perovskite films. Here, aiming at outstanding interfacial passivation, Prof. Meng’s […]
Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy. Solar cells usually consist of a semiconductor material that absorbs sunlight and generates electricity. However, the amount of sunlight that can be converted into electricity is limited. Standard single-junction solar cells are theoretically limited to a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 30 percent. […]
Solar is a clean, renewable energy source that can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and reduce our impact on the natural environment. Unlike traditional fossil fuels such as coal and oil, solar energy does not directly cause pollutants (such as carbon dioxide) to be released into the atmosphere and water supply. What is a disadvantage […]

What are 4 types of radiation from the Sun? 4 types of solar radiation include: Infrared rays, Visible rays. Ultraviolet light. radio waves. What are the 4 types of radiation? There are four major types of radiation: alpha, beta, neutrons, and electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays. There is a difference between mass, energy and […]
