Forward-biased I‑V measurements of the solar cell are made under controlled illumination. The SMU is set up to output a voltage sweep and measure the resulting current.

HZB researchers achieved a record 29.8% solar cell efficiency in late 2021, and in summer 2022, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, reported a certified solar tandem cell ...

The highest research cell efficiency recorded in the chart is 47.1%, for a four-junction cell. Its interactive nature allows users to visualize the recent jump in conversion efficiencies for ...

The chart, which shows the success of experimental solar cells, includes the previous three-junction IMM record of 37.9% established in 2013 by Sharp Corporation of Japan.

Under air mass 1.5 global solar illumination, the core-shell In 0.25 Ga 0.75 As (E g ~ 1.1 eV) nanowire arrays on graphene demonstrate a conversion efficiency of 2.51 %, representing a new record ...

Today's solar cells are generally too expensive, and physically limited for everyday, consumer-grade use. However, a team of scientists at MIT have created a new solar cell out of graphene that is ...
