SrTiO3 is attractive owing to various other reasons too, such as its potential applications in resistive switches and fuel cell components. The versatile nature of SrTiO3 has motivated physicists to study its various materials properties in detail. But to dig deeper into…
However, dye-sensitized solar cells for indoor light and perovskite solar cells for outdoor use are different technologies. Sekisui Chemical and Panasonic are ahead in terms of commercialization timing, and the production capacities announced by each company do not necessarily indicate…
A comprehensive review in Discover Nano examines how perovskite materials could serve sustainable technologies while warning that lead content, leaching and toxicity remain serious obstacles.
An AI-guided framework identified a readily synthesizable self-assembled monolayer that delivers 27.2% efficiency and retains over 95% of initial efficiency after 2,000 hours of testing at 65 °C. A team reporting in Nature Synthesis has now used artificial intelligence to search the enormous chemical…
A new DFT study predicts that the lead-free fluoride double perovskites Rb₂AuCoF₆ and Rb₂AuRhF₆ combine visible-range band gaps, strong absorption and promising thermoelectric figures of merit. News Source: Denise Maddox. (October 28, 2026). Computer models flag rubidium-gold fluoride perovskites as lead-free candidates for solar…
Researchers at the University of Oxford have discovered that bismuth sulfide material can overcome a major limitation in solar energy. The problem was that materials that absorb sunlight strongly usually lose electrical charge too quickly to generate efficient power. The…
A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a novel semiconductor that overcomes a key limitation with light-harvesting materials. The results, published today in Nature, could enable more efficient solar panels with higher outputs. Solar energy currently faces…

The engineers drastically cut precious metal usage to lower costs. The organic solar device sets a world record by converting sunlight to clean hydrogen at 7.9% efficiency. A new hybrid protective layer prevents corrosion. To cut costs, the team drastically reduced…
Researchers at Chiba University identified a thermodynamic boundary for photocurrent generation in organic solar cells and found that more rigid donor molecules were associated with lower radiative voltage losses. Organic solar cells have long promised lightweight, flexible and potentially low-cost…
The chemistry of capturing sunlight: perovskite and tandem solar cells, organic and thin-film photovoltaics, and solar fuels from artificial photosynthesis.
