Transmittance thresholds of electrochromic glazing to achieve annual low-glare work environments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

A recent study on the glare protection performance of electrochromic (EC) glazing showed that visible transmittance levels lower than 0.6% are necessary to achieve comfortable situations for sun positions, that were close to the central field of view. Howe ...

CNT-based bifacial perovskite solar cells towards highly efficient 4-terminal tandem photovoltaics

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Fan Fu, Hongwei Zhu, Chunyang Zhang

Carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) are recognized as low-cost stable photovoltaics. However, currently most highly efficient C-PSCs are optically opaque, which means that they can only utilize direct illumination but cannot efficiently utilize th ...
