A European group of scientists has created a novel hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coating for the cover glass of PV modules. The double-layer coating uses a silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) thin film as ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. “The primary ...

Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a coating that makes solar cells more efficient. The new coating lets solar cells absorb 96.2% of the sunlight shining on them. For ...

Yi Yang, the study's first author, tests a sample of the team's new solar cell in the lab at Northwestern University. Northwestern University scientists have developed a new protective coating that ...
