What is a solar cell?

Solar Cells, covering single crystal, polycrystalline and amorphous materials utilising homojunctions and heterojunctions, Schottky barriers, liquid junctions and their applications. Also of interest is analysis of component materials, individual cells and complete systems, including their economic aspects.

How efficient are silicon solar cells?

The efficiency of silicon solar cells has a large influence on the cost of most photovoltaics panels. Here, researchers from Kaneka present a silicon heterojunction with interdigitated back contacts reaching an efficiency of 26.3% and provide a detailed loss analysis to guide further developments.

Are solar cells reversible?

The solar cells undergo thermally-driven, moisture-mediated reversible transitions between a transparent non-perovskite phase (81.7% visible transparency) with low power output and a deeply coloured perovskite phase (35.4% visible transparency) with high power output.

Can silicon solar cells improve photoconversion efficiency?

Nature Energy 2, Article number: 17032 (2017) Cite this article Improving the photoconversion efficiency of silicon solar cells is crucial to further the deployment of renewable electricity.
