Last week, I was privileged to attend Solar Power International and Energy Storage International – aka Smart Energy Week. Companies including Canadian Solar (CSIQ), Jinko (JKS), LG (OTC:LGEAF), Panasonic (OTCPK:PCRFF), and SolarEdge (SEDG) spared no expense on displaying their latest products. The biggest booths had an eerie feel to them that was not apparent until I finished exploring for several …
Professor Yabing Qi and his team from OIST in collaboration with Professor Shengzhong Liu from Shaanxi Normal University, China, developed the cells using the materials and compounds that mimic the crystalline structure of the naturally occurring mineral perovskite. The team described their technique in a study published in the journal Nature Communications. In what Professor Qi refers to as “the …
