6 FAQs about [About the Solar Cell Research Team]

Can perovskite and organic materials make solar cells more efficient?

Why do we need a solar cell summary?

We and other editors across the Nature Portfolio believe that this is more useful to both reviewers and readers: it not only ensures transparency in reporting the results, but also allows a quick assessment of the solar cell data presented in a study, avoiding the need to go back and forth between the Summary and the main files.

Does the solar cells Reporting Summary include experimental details?

Nature Energy 8, 1299 (2023) Cite this article To improve the usefulness of the Solar Cells Reporting Summary as a standalone report, we now ask authors of relevant manuscripts to include experimental details in the Summary, and we have updated some of the requested information.

What is a research interest in solar energy conversion?

Research interest is the development of new chemical approaches to solar energy conversion – harnessing solar energy either to produce electricity (photovoltaics) or molecular fuels (e.g. hydrogen). Research interests lie in the area of solar energy conversion and molecular electronics.

How can a tandem solar cell improve power conversion rate?

To address this technological challenge, Asst Prof Hou and his team developed a novel and effective ICL that reduces voltage, optical and electrical losses within the tandem solar cell. This innovation significantly improves the efficiency of the perovskite/organic tandem solar cells, achieving a power conversion rate of 23.6%.

Do we need to report the area of solar cells?

In particular, we now ask authors not only to report the area of the tested solar cells but also to indicate the type of area calculated, for example, total area, aperture area, active area.
