The photovoltaic industry has witnessed a remarkable breakthrough with the advent of lead halide perovskite solar cells (LHPSCs), which have achieved outstanding power conversion efficiencies (PCEs); 25% in single-junction and 29% in monolithic tandem configurations. Despite this progress, challenges such as poor long-term stability, phase degradation under light, heat, and...

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy. Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike...

First Nations across British Columbia have developed renewable electricity projects for decades. Yet they've experienced significant barriers to implementing, owning and managing their own electricity supply. That's because there have been few procurement policies in place that require their involvement....
