Solar Cells with Ferroelectric Crystal Lattice Produce 1,000 Times More Power Updated On Thu, Aug 5th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Germany, have developed a lattice arrangement of three different layers of ferroelectric crystals that induced a powerful effect in solar cells. The researchers believe that on integration with the ferroelectric crystal lattice, the solar cells can become thousand times more powerful. They say that combining ultra-thin layers of […] Read more
Scientists in Germany Develop Cost-effective Solar Cell Deposition Method Updated On Wed, Jun 9th, 2021 by Saurenergy Researchers led by the Technical University of Ilmenau in Germany claim that if silicon dioxide (SiO2) films are deposited at room temperature without complex vacuum systems, they can be a good, cost-effective candidate for use in commercial c-Si solar cell production lines. SiO2 deposition is used as a passivation layer or a protective layer in various types […] Read more
Researchers say rubidium Doping & 2D Capping assure perovskite stability Updated On Tue, Apr 27th, 2021 by Saurenergy In a new paper entitled ‘Unraveling the compositional heterogeneity and carrier dynamics of alkali cation doped 3D/2D perovskites with improved stability’, first published on 11th December 2020 in the journal Materials Advances, scientists at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology offer a new method- rubidium doping & 2D capping- to enhance the stability of perovskite […] Read more
Solar Power Technology Continues To Wait On the Promise Of Perovskite Cells Updated On Tue, Apr 20th, 2021 by Saurenergy Scientists today are using perovskite materials, named after a little known 19th Century Russian mineralogist and nobleman Count Lev Perovski, to make solar cells more efficient and adaptable than ever before. The material was first discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1839 by Gustav Rose and became fairly common in later decades wherein it was […] Read more
