The improved efficiency is attributed to the improved light absorbance and the reduced charge recombination in the active layer.
In some cases, the overall result can be what's called "backfire": more energy use than would have occurred without the improved efficiency.
"The cost, as well as the improved efficiency it provides, makes it an attractive option for ship owners and operators, and the environmental benefits are obvious," he said.
Several experiments confirm the improved efficiency of these hybrid access structures.
But not everyone agrees the findings are significant, or even new, says physicist Ekkes Bruck of the University of Amsterdam; he's not yet convinced of the improved efficiency.
With v3.0, YouTube also aims to help developers lower their apps' bandwidth requirement (by only returning what you ask for with its new "part" parameter) — along with the improved efficiency that comes from its new default JSON encoding.
The improved efficiency also means that the flexible, lighter-weight solar panels could catch up to rigid, silicon solar panels in terms of performance which would allow more consumer choice and competition in solar.
Moreover, the conversion efficiency of the device has increased from 1.58 to 2.09% because of the improved efficiency of the electron transport path in the CH3NH3PbI3/FTO electrodes.
We thought that the improved efficiency were attributed to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) triggered by gold nanoparticles in SiNHS nanocomposite films.
The improved efficiency is attributed to the cascade structure formed by the PbS QD coating, which results in enhanced open-circuit voltage and exciton dissociation efficiency.
The improved efficiency is attributed to the increased dye loading and improved light scattering effect, as confirmed by incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency (IPCE) measurements.
