We see plenty of solar projects here on Hackaday, but they primarily consist of projects that use an off-the-shelf solar panel to power something else. We see very few projects where people actually ...

Russian scientists at National Research University "MPEI" have introduced an innovative engineering solution designed to significantly extend the operational life of next-generation solar cells.

Researchers at the Silesian University of Technology in Poland have investigated the enhancing photovoltaic module performance using dye concentrators, finding that their use could result in an ...

P-type dye-sensitised solar cells (p-DSSCs) represent a promising class of photovoltaic devices that utilise p-type semiconductors – most commonly nickel oxide – as the photoactive electrode. These ...

It was found that the onion-dye film performed best, blocking 99.9% of UV light with a wavelength of up to 400 nanometers. That said, it still allowed over 80% of visible light transmission at longer ...

Researchers investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells. The study was the first to compare how the properties of different bio-based UV ...

Physical reservoir computing (PRC) utilizing synaptic devices shows significant promise for edge AI. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science have introduced a novel self-powered ...

In the picture, a film dyed with red onion skin extract and dye-sensitised solar cells. The films were placed on top of the solar cells in the study. Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, ...
