A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

Even moderate stability improvements greatly reduce organic solar cell replacement frequency, waste and operating costs, the researchers said. Organic cells tend to be more flexible, lighter and less ...

Organic solar cells have long promised a future of lightweight, flexible energy harvesting, but their tendency to degrade ...

"Urine contains essential ions and organic compounds that support rapid microbial activity, which improves power generation ...

When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun's power for a rainy day—or a cold night. Chemists at UC Santa Barbara have ...

FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, February 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A bilayer perovskite strategy improves ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Researchers at Barcelona-based photonics research institute ICFO have enhanced the performance of an organic solar cell by optimizing the fluorescence quantum yield (FQY) – that is, by favoring light ...

A team of chemists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has developed a new material capable of capturing sunlight ...
