Integrated spring connectors and exposed metal foils keep a flat energy harvester thin while improving portable power connection reliability.
A liquid metal grid and elastomer-protected transparent electrode preserves light transmittance while maintaining solar-cell stability and PCE.
Higher external pressure and molten solder create uniform 5-100 µm plate gaps faster while preserving safety glass strength.
Targeted chromophore and anchoring-group tuning raises visible-light absorption and stability in photovoltaic dyes without ruthenium cost or toxicity.
A non-stoichiometric oxide barrier and encapsulant isolate photovoltaic layers from oxidation and corrosion while preserving stability.
Microbial electron donors and electron siphons convert light and chemical energy into electricity across heat, diffuse light, UV, and far-red conditions.
Cut-to-size perovskite thin-film stacks adhere to curved surfaces and wired support films, expanding solar collection beyond rigid panels.
A seed-layer-grown formamidinium lead iodide film stays at least 1 μm thick while limiting roughness, improving light absorption and carrier life.
Conductive particles in an adhesive layer create electrical contact to a porous electrode while preserving sealing and preventing electrolyte leakage.
