Video: Ultrathin Solar Cells Get a Boost
Rice University engineers have achieved a new benchmark in the design of atomically thin solar cells made of semiconducting perovskites, boosting their efficiency while retaining their ability to stand up to the environment. Read more at https://news.rice.edu/news/2021/ultra...
Ultrathin solar cells get a boost
A two-dimensional coat of a perovskite compound is the basis for an efficient solar cell that might stand up to environmental wear and tear, unlike earlier perovskites. Engineers at Rice University raised the photovoltaic efficiency of 2D perovskites by up to 18%. (Credit: Jeff Fitlow/Rice University) Rice lab finds 2D perovskite compound has the right stuff to challenge bulkier products HOUSTON – (Nov. 22, 2021) – Rice University engineers have achieved a new benchmark in the design...
Hydropower will continue to dominate annual power generation in Canada to 2030, says GlobalData
Hydropower held a share of 60.2% in total annual generation in Canada in 2020 and this share is expected to marginally decline to 58% in 2030; however, it will continue to hold the dominant share in Canada’s generation mix, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Rohit Ravetkar, Power Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Canada is among the global leaders in hydropower generation, with several provinces in the country, including British Colombia, Quebec, and Manitoba, generati...
Expansion of wind and solar power too slow to stop climate change
The production of renewable energy is increasing every year. But after analysing the growth rates of wind and solar power in 60 countries, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and Lund University in Sweden and Central European University in Vienna, Austria, conclude that virtually no country is moving sufficiently fast to avoid global warming of 1.5°C or even 2°C. “This is the first time that the maximum growth rate in individual countries has been accurately measured, and it show...
