Quantum dot solar cells harness the unique properties of semiconductor nanocrystals to capture a broader spectrum of solar radiation, offering substantial promise for next-generation photovoltaics. By ...

Researchers have identified a class of quantum materials, called topological semimetals, that can split water into hydrogen fuel using nothing but sunlight, sidestepping the expensive platinum-based ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Discover the potential of quantum dot technology and its implications for solar energy. These nano-devices could transform medicine and consumer electronics while enhancing the efficiency of solar ...

UbiQD, the Los Alamos-based company that is turning nanoscale, three-dimensional structures known as quantum dots into sunlight-harvesting machines, announced on Wednesday that it has entered into an ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

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 ...

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 ...
