A flux coating method for preparing high-performance upconverting crystal layers has been developed by Japanese scientists. These upconverting crystal layers could improve the absorption properties of solar cells. The method developed by the Japanese team uses a relatively low temperature of 350 °C and makes it easier to create large-scale crystal layers. These advantages should make it more feasible for use in large-scale applications. Interested to know more? Read the full article for free until 24th October:
