What are the latest advancements in nanotechnology for solar cell manufacturing, and how does the use of nanotechnology contribute to increasing the efficiency of solar cells?
Dear friend Marwan Hany
Nanotechnology has been used in solar cell manufacturing to increase efficiency and improve performance (What Are The Latest Advancements...). Researchers have been using nanotechnology for solar PV systems in various ways, including nanoparticles in the PV cell, nanofluids for photovoltaic thermal (PVT) panels, and nano-enhanced phase change material (PCM) for PV or PVT setups(Top 6 Nanotechnology Uses...).
One of the latest advancements in this field includes the use of nanoscale materials to increase efficiency and improve performance (What Are The Latest Advancements...). For example, Oak Ridge National Laboratory has created microscopic zinc oxide cones, known as nanocones, that can increase energy efficiency in each solar cell (A holistic and state-of-the-art review.....).
Another recent advancement includes a new approach to the design of perovskite cells that has pushed the material to match or exceed the efficiency of today’s typical silicon cell (Researchers improve efficiency of next-generation.....). By adding a specially treated conductive layer of tin dioxide bonded to the perovskite material, researchers were able to lay the groundwork for further improvements (Researchers improve efficiency of next-generation.....).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
