Solar water splitting is one of the most direct ways to produce green hydrogen using sunlight. However, most photocatalysts and photoelectrodes absorb only a limited portion of solar radiation, mainly ...

Researchers have identified a class of quantum materials, called topological semimetals, that can split water into hydrogen fuel using nothing but sunlight, sidestepping the expensive platinum-based ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia investigated the impact of UV-induced degradation (UVID) in solar cells based on tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) design.

It was found that the onion-dye film performed best, blocking 99.9% of UV light with a wavelength of up to 400 nanometers. That said, it still allowed over 80% of visible light transmission at longer ...

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...
