This edition of the Future Tech TOE focuses on third-generation solar sells. Third-generation solar cells are capable of overcoming the Shockley-Queisser limit of power efficiency that ranges from 31% to 41%. These cells primarily employ organic materials such as small molecules or polymers for their manufacture. A new category of thin film solar c...

Nanotechnology has emerged in the energy storage market over the last decade. This market is witnessing the highest support and funding from public and private agencies. Research trends such as improving the performance of current lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy density and their lifespan can be noticed. Also, graphene, carbon nanotubes an...

Hybrid energy solutions involve combining two or more different sources of energy to meet the demand of a specific location or a group of people. These sources can be used to power a remote community, an individual user, or a larger body such as a city or a town. Depending on the requirements, two renewable sources may be combined or a renewable an...
