Solar spectral conversion has been considered as a way to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion processes since the early 1970s (ref. 1). It typically relies on a luminescence process ...

A new six-junction solar cell, developed by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory), converts 47.1% of incident light into electricity when combined with optical concentration. Indications thus ...

A new approach to combine solar energy conversion and biomass conversion has been presented by researchers. These are two important research areas for renewable energy, they say. In a study published ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Almost all strategies for solar energy harvest and solar energy storage that exist today are developed as independent technologies. For instance, a solar cell generates ...
