Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC) together form the third generation of photovoltaic devices. They both promise low-cost and flexible solar cells fabricated using roll-to-roll techniques. They both have target markets which significantly......[More]

Sometimes it‘s just a couple of cents that decide the success or failure of a technology. As long as solar power, for instance, is still more expensive than energy extracted from fossil fuels, photovoltaics will not be competitive on the broad open market. “Power genera......[More]

About 40 percent of the solar energy reaching Earth’s surface lies in the near-infrared region of the spectrum — energy that conventional silicon-based solar cells are unable to harness. But a new kind of all-carbon solar cell developed by MIT researchers could tap into......[More]
