A newly developed metasurface-based silicon antireflective coating combines rectangular and cylindrical meta-atom geometries. The metasurface achieves just 5 percent reflection, compared to ~50 ...

Chinese researchers have demonstrated a single-step submicron structured surface texturing process that improved the absolute efficiency of a TOPCon solar cell by 1% through broadband anti-reflection ...

The additive introduced into the solution for preparing the photoactive layer enhances Marangoni flow, thereby offsetting capillary flow caused by changes in the substrate’s surface energy due to ...

An international team of researchers has raised the efficiency of perovskite solar cells to nearly 27 percent after introducing a new interfacial coating between the top contact and the perovskite ...

Researchers led by a team at Spain's Technical University of Madrid (ISOM-UPM) have demonstrated a broadband antireflective coating (ARC) for gallium arsenide-based solar cells. The nanostructured ...

DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colors, but rather act as a self-polishing layer ...

By protecting the surface during heating, the team reduced the chance that tiny flaws would grow into long-term failures.

Using graphene could eliminate the need for precious materials such as silver and gold in the manufacturing process. Image: First Graphene (Albert Lozano). Graphene manufacturer First Graphene ...
