NREL has updated its Best Research-Cell Efficiency Chart. The tool highlights the highest confirmed conversion efficiencies of research cells for a range of PV technologies. “Everything up to ...

This physical effect could pave the way for cheap, high-output solar cells. One possible improvement could derive from a new type of solar cell made of semiconducting nanocrystals (crystals with ...

These findings could significantly increase the efficiency of solar cells. The photovoltaic effect of ferroelectric crystals can be increased by a factor of 1,000 if three different materials are ...

and of perovskite solar cells (in orange) “It’s possible that the NREL efficiency chart is the most presented graph that you can find at the annual PV Specialists Conference and similar ...
