The world’s first transparent thin-film solar cell has been created by a research team under the direction of Dr. Jung-dae Kwon from the Department of Energy & Electronic Materials at the Korea ...

Black and bulky solar panels that rest atop many houses and buildings might disappear one day in favor of an energy-conducting film that can be applied to windows, thanks to a group of UCLA ...

In a world that relies on batteries and energy supplies, there's something quite attractive about the idea of a transparent surface that can harness the power of the sun. Think about it — the windows ...

Solar energy has long been a go-to solution for sustainability, but traditional panels have their limitations. They’re big, rigid, and, let’s be honest, not the most visually appealing addition to a ...

The effective deposition of finely dispersed cobalt oxide (CoOx) nanoparticles within the mesoporous framework of the WO₃-F127 electrode is illustrated in this figure. The incorporation of CoOx takes ...

Semi-transparent solar cell based on silicon-germanium quantum wells German scientists have developed a solar cell with multiple quantum wells to enable higher levels of photocurrent. The ...

Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Photonics and Quantum Materials (CPQM) have developed a novel method to fine-tune the optoelectrical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) by ...

Often no thicker than a piece of paper, thin-film solar panels are among the least visible advancements in renewable energy technology today. Unlike traditional silicon panels, which are rigid and ...

Developed for applications in BIPV, vehicle-integrated solar and smart glasses, the solar cell was built with an ultra-thin, semi-transparent, triple-cation perovskite film and gold nanorods (Au NRs).

Solar windows, also known as photovoltaic windows or solar glass, are a type of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology. Designed to look like windows and perform like solar panels, solar ...
