Title: Next-generation solar power: Japanese researchers achieve BPVE breakthrough
Post by: Redaktion on June 26, 2025, 15:20:11
A team led by Kazunari Matsuda at Kyoto University has, for the first time, created an atom-thin heterostructure in which the bulk photovoltaic effect can be generated and continuously tuned using a magnetic field, enabled by a magnetic underlayer. This breakthrough circumvents the Shockley–Queisser limit, which traditionally constrains the voltage and efficiency of conventional solar cells.
