Integration system was developed with solar cells, HSCs and photodetectors. • CoS x hybrid supercapacitors demonstrated high electrochemical performances. CoS x HSCs are charged by a-Si:H solar cells for stably driving ZnO photodetectors. Integration system
How Does Solar Work?
Practical space-based energy harvesting requires a large structure to make the microwave power transferring beam localized to a small area on Earth. A thin foldable membrane satellite is proposed to reduce the cost of building this structure. The membrane is formed by the solar cell and antenna array, but since they exist on the same plane, the solar cell …
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells must stabilize a perovskite material with a wide bandgap and also maintain efficient charge carrier transport. Al-Ashouri et al. stabilized a perovskite with a …

Achieving high-efficiency solar cells and at the same time driving down the cell cost has been among the key objectives for photovoltaic researchers to attain a lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). While the performance of silicon (Si) based solar cells have almost saturated at an efficiency of ~25%, III–V compound semiconductor based …
Here, the fabrication of triple-cation perovskite n–i–p solar cells onto the surface of planarized carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer substrates is demonstrated, with devices utilizing a transparent top ITO contact.
Transparent patch antennas are microstrip patch antennas that have a certain level of optical transparency. Highly transparent patch antennas are potentially suitable for integration with solar panels of small satellites, which are becoming increasingly important in space exploration. Traditional patch antennas employed on small satellites compete …
Photon upconversion (UC) by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is employed in order to enhance the response of solar cells to sub-bandgap light. Here, we present the first report of an integrated photovoltaic device, combining a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) and TTA-UC system. The integrated de …
The unique properties of perovskites and the rapid advances that have been made in solar cell performance have facilitated their integration into a broad range of practical applications,...
Light trapping induced by the introduction of metallic nanoparticles has been shown to improve photo absorption in organic solar cells (OSCs). Researchers in the fields of plasmonics and organic photovoltaics work together to boost sunlight absorption and photon–electron interactions in order to improve device performance. In this contribution, …
Solar cells offer an attractive option for directly photo-charging lithium-ion batteries. Here we demonstrate the use of perovskite solar cell packs with four single …
Water electrolysis in integrated photoelectrochemical (IPEC) cells is a promising strategy for converting solar energy into H2. However, it provides an intermittent flow of H2, which complicates its direct use for converting CO2 into valuable molecules. For the first time, a demonstrator directly integrating IPEC cells and a methanogenesis …
Finally, we present envisioned architectures for ultrathin solar cells, integrating both aspects of light absorption and charge carrier collection, and we draw conclusions on future directions for ...
