Researchers are making progress on the design of a solar battery made from an abundant, non-toxic and easily synthesized material composed of 2D carbon nitride. The collaborative effort between the ...

Researchers have developed a new method for light and matter interaction, paving the way for the production of ultrathin silicon solar cells. The University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) team's ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new photocatalyst that can use a much broader range of sunlight to produce hydrogen, ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.

PV cells are primarily composed of semiconductor materials that have a higher conductivity than insulators. However, these materials are not good conductors of electricity like metals. Different types ...

Greenhouses are an increasingly large slice of American agriculture. There are plenty of advantages to growing crops in greenhouses, but one downside is the energy needed to, most importantly, keep ...
