Britishvolt, a UK firm developing a £3.8 billion factory to build batteries for electric vehicles, was on Monday on the brink of collapse, reports said. The troubled battery start-up, championed by former prime minister Boris Johnson as part of his drive for a greener economy, has been developing the gigafactory in Blyth, northeastern England. But […]
Victoria is accelerating its $10.9 million neighbourhood batteries program in an aim to maximise the broad uptake of rooftop solar to store cheap, clean renewable energy at a local level and deliver it back to the communities that supply it. As part of the second round of the state’s Neighbourhood Battery Initiative (NBI), the government says it […]
When proposals for the largest solar power plant ever made for US soil began to gather pace – a plan involving several million solar panels on a flat farmland in northern Indiana – something at Connie Ehrlich seemed to have failed. Ehrlich, 63, is part of a longtime farming family in the Pulaski area, the […]
Rooftop solar has taken another significant bite out of electricity demand, and the customer volumes of leading utility Origin Energy, as the pace of change in Australia’s main grid continues to accelerate. Rooftop solar on Friday trumped all fossil fuels, contributing to 34 per cent of total generation in the middle of the day – […]
High-performance photodetectors with great detection capability have been widely deployed in our daily life, such as driverless technology, intraoperative navigated surgery, face recognition, anti-counterfeiting, and so on. However, we still face challenges as new demands are required for additional functions like excellent flexibility with no sensitivity/stability loss. Therefore, novel photosensitive materials or multi-functional composites […]
Recently, Junyou Yang and Yubo Luo from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in collaboration with Xin Li from the National University of Singapore, published an article titled “Enhancing the stability of planar perovskite solar cells by green and inexpensive cellulose acetate butyrate” in Journal of Energy Chemistry. Hybrid organic-inorganic halide […]
