29 November 2023. A new kind of solar cell is coming: is it the future of green energy? Firms commercializing perovskite–silicon ''tandem'' photovoltaics say that the panels will …
Paper-thin solar cell can turn any surface into a power source
A solar cell in its most fundamental form consists of a semiconductor light absorber with a specific energy band gap plus electron- and hole-selective contacts for charge carrier separation and extraction. Silicon solar cells have the advantage of using a photoactive absorber material that is abundant, stable, nontoxic, and well understood.
