Oxford PV Claims Research Breakthrough Could Reduce Need For Solar Farms Updated On Fri, Aug 9th, 2024 by Saurenergy An abiding aspect of solar research has been the obvious focus on improving energy conversion efficiency at lower costs, and finding more and more application areas for solar. Scientists at Oxford University Physics Department have developed a ‘revolutionary approach’ which they claim could generate increasing amounts of solar electricity without the need for silicon-based solar […] Read more
Mechanochemistry Paves the Way to Higher Quality Perovskite Photovoltaics Updated On Wed, Nov 8th, 2017 by Saurenergy Mechanochemistry is a rapidly developing field of science dealing with chemical reactions occurring directly between solid-phase compounds upon activation by mechanical force. For several years, tension has been rising in line with the approaching commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic cells. Now, there has been another small earthquake: it turns out that devices based on these materials […] Read more
