Researchers at Stanford have developed a technique that can rapidly and sequentially separate multiple sets of III-V solar cell thin films grown as a stack on one III-V wafer.
Researchers in the Fan group have developed a method for epitaxial growth of double heterojunction semiconductor diodes capable of suppressing parasitic non-radiative recombination effects.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel, non-tracking and low cost solar concentrator - Axially Graded Index LEns: AGILE - that has potential to change the economy of the solar cell industry.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
Stanford researchers at the Cui Lab have designed a self-aligned hybrid metal-dielectric surface that offers unparalleled performance in applications where both a transparent contact and a photon management texture are needed.
Stanford researchers have disclosed a new family of white light emitting perovskites with photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) of up to 9%, which show stable emission over at least three months of continuous irradiation.
Electronic devices made from single crystal thin films attached to inexpensive support substrates offer reduced material costs compared to wafer-based devices; however, scalable and inexpensive processes for producing these single crystal film structures have remained elusive.
Solar cells containing halide perovskite absorbers have shown large improvements in power conversion efficiency over the last eight years and now exceed 20%. This makes them competitive with many commercial technologies like polycrystalline silicon and CdTe.
Stanford researchers have for the first time, demonstrated the use of scaffolding to increase the mechanical and chemical stability of perovskite solar cells.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
