A group of perovskite solar cells that have been treated with capsaicin. Jin Yang New research suggests spicy solar cells might work more efficiently. That’s right, scientists treated solar cells with ...

A touch of chili peppers can spice up just about any dish – and maybe, it turns out, even solar cells. Researchers have now found that adding a sprinkle of capsaicin to a perovskite precursor can ...

A group of researchers led by Mexico's National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) has developed a new colloidal solution that could reportedly increase the efficiency of ...

DelSolar is making a move outside of its comfort zone and starting the process to develop compound thin-film solar cells with the help of IBM. The two companies are working towards improving the ...

“This system demonstrates remarkable efficiency in storing solar energy as electrons,” the study authors said. This work shows that solar energy can be captured, stored, transported as a liquid, and ...

Scientists in China and Sweden have determined that a pinch of capsaicin, the chemical compound that gives chili peppers their spicy sting, may be a secret ingredient for more stable and efficient ...

In the top-left panel, the spatial distribution of compound LSLW extremes is shown, with frequency indicated by color and intensity by shading for the historical period (1961-1990). The top-right ...

A team of engineers, material scientists, and physicists demonstrated how a new material -- a lead-free chalcogenide perovskite -- that hadn't previously been considered for use in solar cells could ...
