Black and bulky solar panels that rest atop many houses and buildings might disappear one day in favor of an energy-conducting film that can be applied to windows, thanks to a group of UCLA ...

With a view to one day developing transparent solar cells that can double as windows in homes and other buildings, an international team of scientists has demonstrated a new type of transparent ...

The world’s first transparent thin-film solar cell has been created by a research team under the direction of Dr. Jung-dae Kwon from the Department of Energy & Electronic Materials at the Korea ...

While most solar cells on the market today are based on silicon, energy engineers have recently been assessing the ...

A new fabrication process for transparent ultra-thin silver films has been developed. The material may help build highly efficient solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, traditional chemical ...

Scientists have discovered a new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class. The new material could lead to smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics, as well ...

The effective deposition of finely dispersed cobalt oxide (CoOx) nanoparticles within the mesoporous framework of the WO₃-F127 electrode is illustrated in this figure. The incorporation of CoOx takes ...

Often no thicker than a piece of paper, thin-film solar panels are among the least visible advancements in renewable energy technology today. Unlike traditional silicon panels, which are rigid and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A Purdue University professor and a multi-institution team of researchers recently published a paper on solar cells in Nature Materials. Letian Dou, an assistant professor in ...

However, hydrogen is a light, energy-dense (by mass) fuel that can create electrical power in a fuel cell, where it emits ...

Scientists in Morocco have developed a novel solar panel cleaning system designed to remove dust and bird droppings. Their prototype was built at a total cost of $386 and is ready to incorporate AI ...
