Great to see transparent solar pushing forward to transform our built environment from one that consumes energy into one which also generates energy. #transparentpv #bipv #transparentsolar
"NEXT OPV is the innovative, breakthrough product in the architectural field that will be the game-changer for sustainability in buildings." NEXT Board Member and Co-Chair of Gensler, Andy Cohen, FAIA, shared his thoughts on the impact of our technology from an architect's perspective. Last week, NEXT successfully delivered a glass wall comprised of 27” X 35” transparent photovoltaic windows to the Gensler headquarters in Los Angeles, CA.

Continued innovation and validation of #perovskite solar cells from Erkan Aydin at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) and collaborators. Nano-C scientists have been involved in work contributing to a better understanding of the vapor-deposition of C60 fullerenes, critical for the scale-up of silicon-Perovskite tandem PV. These materials are available today at industrial scale. Please contact us for more information. #perovskite #fullerenes #photovoltaics #gen3solar
Our latest research on #perovskite -based solar cells is now available as an open-access article in Nature Communications! For all fellow researchers in academia and industry working in this field, this might pique your interest. In collaboration with my colleague Ahmed Ali Said, we encountered a noteworthy issue – a gradual drop in performance during the thermal evaporation of fullerene in multiple repeated batches (which is likely observed by many researchers in the field). We investigated the problem from a materials chemistry perspective and pinpointed oxygen in commercial powders as the culprit behind this performance change. The breakthrough? We teamed up with Barry Rand's team at Princeton to develop the vacuum thermal gradient sublimation method, providing a solution to this challenge. Additionally, we worked with Henning Richter and Ed Jackson from Nano-C for close collaboration in identifying and addressing the issue. For those interested, Nano-C is geared up to supply this material. For academic groups, worried about not having the sublimed C60? No problem! The impact surfaces during the heating and cooling of the powder source, and altering the material in each batch can mitigate this effect. We strongly believe that our findings contribute significantly to the industrial processes of perovskite-based solar cells, whether in single-junction or tandem forms. For more in-depth details, feel free to check out the article for free access through this link or contact us [https://lnkd.in/dukpHbW5] I would like to thanks also the KPV-Lab team, Ledinsky Martin's team, Ilhan Yavuz, and Caner Deger for their support in understanding the rationale. #PerovskiteSolarCells #MaterialsChemistry #Fullerene #Photovoltaics

Perovskite-silicon tandem cell achieves 28.9% efficiency via high bandgap top perovskite cell: A group of international researchers has developed a new perovskite-silicon solar cell design using a top perovskite PV device with an energy bandgap of 1.67 eV and a new self-assembly monolayer based on carbazole. The tandem cell achieved a higher efficiency compared to counterparts without the monolayer and passed the IEC 61215 standard thermal cycling test. #renewableenergy #solarenergy #sustainability
