Scientists in China placed a 0.5 mm thick aluminum foil between the solar cell and the Eva, and between the EVA and the glass layer. The two experimental modules were compared with a reference module and were found to remove heat and increase the temperature uniformity in the surface. January 30, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group led by scientists from Chinese Nanchang University has presented with aluminum (already) foil in PV modules to improve and cool the thermal conductivity in the plane from the inside. The team has presented, manufactured and compared with a reference device without all. “Passive…

New technology follows dark excitons for future solar cells How can modern technologies, such as solar cells, be optimized? An international team of researchers, led by the University of Gotingen, starts this question with the help of an innovative new technology. For the first time, the formation of small, elusive particles – known as dark excitons – is accurately followed in both time and space. These invisible energy carriers are ready to play a crucial role in the development of future solar cells, LEDs and detectors. The findings were published in Nature Photonics. Dark excitons are extremely small pairs consisting…
De Zoantellel was developed by an international team, including the Kaust of Saudi Arabia and the Chinese Academy of Science. January 29, 2025 Emiliano Bellini An international research team led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed a 3D/2D perovskite solar cell based on a meta-amidinopyridine (MAP) Ligand that allegedly the Ferroelectric properties and passivation effects Can improve at the Cell’s 3D/2D interface without deteriorating loading transport. Perovskiet cells built with 2D hybrid materials are known for their stability and show large exciton -binding energy compared to conventional 3D devices. Various organic…
