O'Regan and Gratzel conceived a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), which operates as an artificial photosynthetic system converting solar light into electricity. Nevertheless, it is only recently that the scientific community is focusing on truly aqueous DS ...
Purpose:In the past decade, retinal prostheses emerged as promising technology to restore a primitive, although clinically useful, form of vision. However, fighting blindness with retinal prostheses require challenges not yet achieved. From a clinical pers ...
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have immense potential for high power conversion efficiency with an ease of fabrication procedure. The fundamental understanding of interfacial kinetics in PSCs is crucial for further improving of their photovoltaic performanc ...
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells have reached efficiencies above 25% in just about three years of development, mostly driven by the rapid progress made in the perovskite solar cell research field. This review aims to give an overview of the achievements ...
Many practical applications among organic electronic devices have been demonstrated over the last decades. They are considered as promising alternatives to inorganic semiconductor technologies due to the potential of cost-effective fabrication, excellent p ...
The energy transition in Switzerland specifies reduction of the country’s primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In the building sector, one way to achieve this is through adoption of efficient and sustainable technologies. With this aim, ...
Thermal stability of CH3NH3PbT3 (MAPbI(3))based perovskite solar cells was investigated for normal structure including the mesoporous TiO2 layer and spiro-MeOTAD and the inverted structure with PCBM and NiO. MAPbI(3) was found to be intrinsically stable fr ...
The search for new photovoltaic materials has been driven by the combined need to exploit sources of energy that are clean and sustainable, while simultaneously doing it in a cost effective manner. In this light, hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have r ...
Humanity is facing the challenge of a global-scale energy transition over the next decades, where solar energy is set to play a crucial role. With the immense amount of sunlight reaching the surface or the Earth, and constantly decreasing manufacturing cos ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of overvoltage arising in PV residential microgrids due to excessive power injection into the grid by the PV generators. We propose a decentralized switched controller to curtail excess active power in order to avoid ...
