Summary

This research uses ultra-fast femtosecond lasers to study how photovoltaic materials generate and lose electrons. By tracking where electrons form and where they become trapped, the work aims to improve solar panel efficiency. Better photovoltaic materials could make solar energy cheaper, more reliable, and capable of replacing fossil fuels.
