Maximizing solar energy production in Switzerland is key to meet energy transition goals. Understanding in detail the current situation, and the potential for expansion is important to develop effective strategies. With this study, we want to contribute to ...

Green hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting is a promising approach for future sustainable energy and industry. Among the existing water electrolysis technologies, solid oxide steam electrolysis exhibits the highest electrical efficiency, ...

Nanogenerators are a recently emerging technology which is able to cost-effectively harvest energy from renewable and clean energy sources at the micro/nano-scale. Their applications in the field of self-powered sensing systems and portable power supplying ...

Corrosion is one of the main end-of-life degradation and failure modes in photovoltaic (PV) modules. However, it is a gradual process and can take many years to become a major risk factor because of the slow accumulation of water and acetic acid (from enca ...

Carbon-based electrodes represent a promising approach to improve stability and up-scalability of perovskite photovoltaics. The temperature at which these contacts are processed defines the absorber grain size of the perovskite solar cell: in cells with lo ...

Semiconducting delafossite-phase CuFeO2 is a promising photocathode material for solar-driven hydrogen production given its suitable energy levels and established robustness for photoelectrochemical water reduction. Nevertheless, reported methods for prepa ...

The performance of a tandem solar cell depends on the performance of its constituting subcells. Although this dependency is theoretically straightforward for open-circuit voltage (V-oc) and short-circuit current, it is indirect for fill factor (FF) and thu ...

In densely populated countries, little free land is available for the deployment of photovoltaics (PV) in field installations. In addition, 40% of the world's demand for electricity is related to buildings. These facts provide a strong argument for the acc ...

High photovoltage in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be achieved by designing new hole transporting materials (HTMs) with relatively deeper energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). Here, we report on the synthesis of a new heteroac ...

Two star-shaped TPA-based small-molecule materials (Z1012 and Z1013) were designed and synthesized in this paper. These molecules show high hole mobility and suitable energy levels for CH3NH3PbI3-based perovskite solar cells. Photovoltaic cells based on th ...

Nanowire-based solar cells opened a new avenue for increasing conversion efficiency and rationalizing material use by growing different III-V materials on silicon substrates. Here, we propose a multiterminal nanowire solar cell design with a theoretical co ...

It has been increasingly aware to the world today that reserves of fossil fuels are limited and their use has serious environmental side effects. Encouraged by this realization was the evolution of the use of cleaner alternative energy, among which Dye-sen ...
