New research by scientists at Shaanxi Normal University, China has demonstrated a new, simpler technique for manufacturing tin-containing perovskite solar cells (PSCs). There have been recent, sharp improvements in the proportion of solar energy that is converted by...
Solar is one of the fastest growing electricity sources in the world: 2019 saw solar PV energy generation increase by 22% year-on-year. New generation cheaper, more ‘earth-abundant’ technologies such as perovskite are in development but need to increase...
The International Tin Association (ITA) held its eighth annual London Tin Seminar on Friday 29 November. The event played host to a range of delegates, from tin producers to investors. The global tin market may be small compared to other base metals, but it...
A team led by Hairen Tan at Nanjing University, China has discovered that using a tin layer in tin perovskite solar cells can boost the efficiency of this new low-cost, lightweight technology by making sure the tin stays in the right chemical form. There is a huge...
Oxford PV, a UK-based company grounded in photovoltaics, is planning to bring tin-using perovskite-based solar cells to the market by the end of next year. The company is a spin-off from research pioneered by Henry Snaith at the University of Oxford. Snaith was part...
