The efficiency of perovskite solar cells has increased to around 26%. However, large-scale production is still a challenge because of traditional methods like spin coating. To overcome this, researchers from the University of Rome Tor Vergata have refined the blade coating process to create 12.6% efficient large-area PV solar modules. For this, they have used a nickel oxide hole transport layer in ambient air along with a non-toxic solvent.

What are LiPo batteries? The LiPo or lithium polymer batteries are a type of rechargeable battery with a polymer electrode instead of a liquid electrode. It is often referred to as LiPo, lithium-poly, or Li-poly. It is lightweight and offers higher specific energy in comparison to many other types of batteries. The fear is due to the dangers associated with the mishandling of LiPo batteries as they can release toxic smoke, catch fire or explode.

Various abbreviations are used to represent different power supply voltages in electronics. Today, we will be discussing more about power supply voltages VCC, VDD, VEE, VSS, and GND. DefinitionsVCC – Also known as Voltage common collector, here C refers to circuit, thus, the entire term means the voltage connected to the circuit. VDD – Here D refers to the device and VDD refers to the internal working voltage of the device.

To achieve high-performing organic solar cells (OSCs), the ternary OSCs are a feasible and efficient option. It is important to develop a better 3rd component for efficient ternary OSC. Researchers developed a new molecule for this study and discovered that dimerized small molecule can increase efficiency of ternary OSCsThe new molecule shows complementary absorption along with energy levels that can match PM5 and BTP-eC9. Moreover, it can also control the PM6:BTP-eC9 arrangement.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have versatile applications, making them a promising device for daily life. In this study, researchers optimize ETL-based bifacial perovskite solar cells for flexible devices via simulation. The process is done by selecting the suitable front transparent electrode (FTE), hole transport layer (HTL), and rear transparent electrode (RTE). It was observed that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite cell device was improved significantly.

It is important to address the fact that we need to find ways to heat production without emissions. Wind and solar technologies are useful, but their output varies on their availability plus they need external storage systems. However, recently researchers discovered a sustainable alternative for the same, firebricks. Researchers discovered the positive effects of firebricks for industrial process heat in 149 countries.
