Researchers report on a new defect passivation strategy for improved power conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Polycrystalline formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI 3), widely ...

SnO 2 has been widely used as electron transport layers (ETLs) for efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its high transparency, high electron mobility, and favorable band alignment. PSCs ...

UNSW researchers identified a new damp-heat degradation mechanism in TOPCon modules with laser-fired contacts, driven primarily by rear-side recombination and open-circuit voltage loss rather than ...

Recently, Engineering published the research work on sodium nitrate passivation as a novel insulation technology for soft magnetic composites developed by Prof. Mi Yan and Dr. Chen Wu’s team. Soft ...
