Japan is pushing solar hydrogen into a new phase by teaching its materials to drink in colors of sunlight that used to go to waste. Instead of relying only on the most energetic visible wavelengths, ...

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...

It was found that the onion-dye film performed best, blocking 99.9% of UV light with a wavelength of up to 400 nanometers. That said, it still allowed over 80% of visible light transmission at longer ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have set a world record for selenium solar cells, achieving 10.3% efficiency for the first time above the 10% threshold. The breakthrough was enabled by ...

Researchers developed a solar collector with a dielectric Bragg mirror, optimizing energy conversion by separating sunlight ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar ...
