The silicon solar panel market has somewhat settled into uniformity. After decades of R&D, manufacturers determined that PERC ...

There are four basic kinds of thin film solar panels, each with pros and cons: Amorphous silicon, organic photovoltaic, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium selenide. These are the ...

Last month, we reported yet another perovskite breaththrough as solar panels continue making impressive efficiency gains. To ...

In 1811 Gay-Lussac and Thenard probably obtained impure amorphous silicon by heating potassium with silicon tetrafluoride; however, the discovery of this element is usually credited to Berzelius ...

When lithium reacts with amorphous silicon, amorphous LixSi is formed. The voltage composition curve of Li/a-LixSi cells has been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in ...
