• Australian Scientists Printing Solar Cells Down Under

  
  — Authority:
  Scientists have produced the largest flexible, plastic solar cells in Australia—10 times the size of what they were previously able to—thanks to a new solar cell printer that has been installed at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). The printer is relatively cheap, uses common ...

• Printing Sunshine

  
  — Authority:
  Solar power is one of the most abundant forms of alternative energy to be found on the planet. With a very few exceptions, it doesn’t matter where you live, the sun still shines often enough to provide energy. The catch is finding ways to capture that energy. The Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (VICOSC) has ...

• Scientists Use Cyborg Plants to Harvest Solar Energy

  
  — Authority:
  Our star, the Sun, provides most of the energy on this planet. (Essentially, all the energy except for nuclear, comes directly or indirectly from it.) Our current methods of converting solar radiation into electricity (photovoltaics) are not very efficient in comparison with plants. Researchers at the University of ...

• Fluorescent Dye Increases Solar Cells’ Efficiency

  
  — Authority:
  Scientists at Yale think that for some solar cells the future may be fluorescent. While many may believe that the purpose of a solar cell is to absorb light, not to emit it (fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation), it turns out that the addition ...

• Commercialization of Polymer Solar Cell: Giant Leap Forward

  
  — Authority:
  A polymer solar cell is a type of thin-film solar cells made with polymers that produce electricity from sunlight by the photovoltaic effect. Most current commercial solar cells are made from a highly purified silicon crystal. The high cost of these silicon solar cells and their complex production process has ...

• New Technique Identifies Manufacturing Residue, Improves Solar Cell Efficiency

  
  — Authority:
  Scientists from Argonne National Laboratory discovered that the efficiency of solar cells is reduced by traces of residue from the manufacturing process of organic photovoltaics. Solar cells based on organic polymers, or the so-called organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), are known to be much cheaper to make than the ...

• Graphene and Monolayers For More Efficient Solar Cells

  
  — Authority:
  With all the talk about nanomaterials making up more efficient solar cells, most of the focus has been on graphene and its unique properties. It’s easy to forget that other elements could possibly be manufactured similarly. It stands to reason that if you can make one element into a monolayer, then you should be ...
