A team of researchers from organic photovoltaic cell development company NextGen Nano has discovered a means of producing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that demonstrate high luminosity at lower voltages. The findings, published in Nature Co ...
Leveraging specially-crafted organic molecules with a large singlet-triplet splitting, researchers from North Carolina State University demonstrated blue OLED chemistries capable of forming triplet excitons via direct charge injection. Through subseq ...
Twenty-five years after the first practical electric car was developed, the electric vehicle (EV) market is booming. January 2019 saw the number of EVs sold in the UK increase 110% from the previous year, while Ireland saw a 500% growth. UK-based NextGen ...
New research claims that, in the race against climate change, the renewable energy industry must embrace the circular economy. Failure to do so will result in a shortage of the rare materials used to create solar panels and wind turbines, as well as elect ...
There is a third generation of solar cells made from organometallic compounds. While projects are still largely in the development phases, there has been a lot of investment recently into how to build a highly-efficient organic cells at relatively low cos ...
A new technological breakthrough could change the way we power electric cars. New polymer-based flexible solar panels could eventually cover the outside of your vehicle, allowing it to charge as you drive. This significant breakthrough could have wide ...

In October 2018, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its report, Global Warming of 1.5ºC. The landmark report highlighted the need for businesses and governments to act immediately to reverse the human impact ...
Researchers from universities around the world are attempting to improve the efficiency of solar cells using organic materials. Scientists in China and the UK have developed carbon- and plastic-manufactured polymer cells, while Canadian researchers ha ...
This week, Amazon announced new recycling and green energy initiatives across the US and UK, including an investment into the Closed Loop Fund and a solar energy project. The tech giant has invested US$10m in the Closed Loop Fund, a recycling proje ...
