Solar water splitting is one of the most direct ways to produce green hydrogen using sunlight. However, most photocatalysts ...

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report that gold ...

A new single molecule can absorb the full spectrum of sunlight and turn it into valuable hydrogen. Freeing hydrogen to use as fuel is a major science holy grail in the 21st century. Costly, ...

A research team has produced a flexible perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell that converts 33.6% of sunlight into electricity, a certified record for bendable devices of this type. Published in Nature ...

(Nanowerk News) The sunlight received by Earth is a mixed bag of wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to visible to infrared. Each wavelength carries inherent energy that, if effectively harnessed, ...

A British-Chinese research group has created a new framework to assess the performance and efficiency limits of photovoltaic-thermal solar panels. They say that the improvement of spectral-splitting ...

The ASTM G173 Standard Spectral Distribution of Sunlight represents a standard, reference solar spectrum that is used for solar photovoltaics testing and calibration purposes. It was defined in the ...
