The intermittent nature of solar energy poses challenges to grid stability, making accurate ultra-short-term solar irradiance ...

Solar cells are made from semiconductors whose ability to respond to light is determined by their band gaps (energy gaps). Different colors have different energies, and no single semiconductor has a ...

Researchers have created a dye-sensitized photocatalyst that captures long-wavelength visible light to double solar hydrogen ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

(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, ...

Japan is pushing solar hydrogen into a new phase by teaching its materials to drink in colors of sunlight that used to go to ...

Solar filters emit a red light over tomato plants growing in a research field at UC Davis in 2022. The work further tests the findings of a UC Davis study showing plants in agrivoltaic systems respond ...

Turning sunlight into clean hydrogen fuel is one of the most promising ways to produce energy without carbon emissions.

Researchers in Canada have conducted a series of simulations to understand how spectrum splitters may raise the efficiency of two-terminal tandem solar cells and have found that efficiency gains may ...
