In particular, electrons flow better than holes through the material. Silicon also is a poor heat conductor as we’ve all noticed when working with high-speed or high-power electronics.

Silicon is a strong and stable building material for PV cells, but on its own it makes for a poor conductor. So manufacturers beef up or "dope" the cell's two silicon layers with trace amounts of ...

Researchers at Osaka University in Suita, Japan, have devised a novel way to improve the performance of electronic devices. The study, published in ACS Applied Electronic ...

which is then transformed into electricity using a silicon conductor module… There are ways to make solar technology more efficient. But we do see a lot of solar energy claims that are — well ...

Graphene is considered one of the most futuristic materials with a wide range of applications in the field of new ...

Yonsei researchers develop metal semiconductors to replace silicon devices Researchers at Yonsei University unveil revolutionary metal-based semiconductor technology ...

efficiencies for such devices sit at 6-7% and the theoretical limit for amorphous silicon cell efficiency is estimated at around 15%. “We have developed a p-type transparent conductor with a ...
