Seoul, South Korea (SPX) Apr 23, 2026
Sungkyunkwan University has published a comprehensive report analyzing technological advances and global research trends in perovskite solar cells, prepared jointly by the research group of Professor Nam-Gyu Park from the Department of Chemical Engineering and the university's Performance Analysis Team, in collaboration with global aca...

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 23, 2026
Researchers from Dalian University of Technology, Fudan University, and City University of Hong Kong have developed a molecular design strategy that pushes PTAA-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) beyond 26% efficiency. Led by Professor Ze Yu, Professor Yingguo Yang, and Professor Hin-Lap Yip, the team addressed a persistent bottleneck in 2D...

A new study describes a perovskite diode that achieves 26.7% power-conversion efficiency when operated as a solar cell and 31% external quantum efficiency when operated as a light-emitting diode, performance levels that would be considered strong for a device designed to do only one of those things. Metal-halide perovskites are a class o...

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 29, 2026
Researchers at LMU Munich have developed a targeted surface treatment for perovskite solar cell electrodes that improves molecular contact, boosting device efficiency, reproducibility, and long-term stability. The findings, published in Advanced Energy Materials, challenge a widely held assumption about electrode preparation and open new ...

Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a chip-scale ultraviolet light source built on thin-film lithium niobate that generates 4.2 milliwatts of on-chip UV power at 390 nanometers wavelength - approximately 120 times more output power than any previous comparable demonstration on the same material platform. Ultraviolet light is used ac...
