A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells like the one illustrated above. Such cells, which can power everything from calculators to cars (our ...

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...

Danish researchers have analyzed fundamental material properties of selenium solar cells and have found their potential is higher than generally believed. They used carrier-resolved photo-Hall ...

Scientists around the world are working on ways to make solar cells — the technology that ... poorly understood," the scientists wrote in the abstract of their study, published in Physical ...

A new perovskite solar cell (PSC) demonstrates remarkable resilience even in high heat conditions, thanks to an innovative ...

OMeTAD-based hole-transporting layer (HTL) protocols, 4-tert-butylpyridine (tBP) is an indispensable component; however, its ...
