Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells is a scientific journal published by Elsevier covering research related to solar energy materials and solar cells.
Controversies.
A paper titled "Ageing effects of perovskite solar cells under different environmental factors and electrical load conditions" published in 2018 in the journal corresponded to a paper previously published in the journal "Nature Energy" as "Systematic investigation of the impact of operation conditions on the degradation behaviour of perovskite solar cells".
It let to an investigation of
(by better thermal insulation for example), and enhanced renewable energy sources.
One major project that is being worked on is the development of nanotechnology in solar cells. Solar cells are more efficient as they get tinier and solar energy is a renewable resource. The price per watt of solar energy is lower than one dollar.
Research is ongoing to use nanowires and other nanostructured materials with the hope of to create cheaper and more efficient solar cells than are possible with conventional planar silicon solar cells. Another example is the
