An international research team based at the University of Sydney in Australia has created a highly efficient, durable tandem perovskite solar cell, deploying two perovskite layers along with a silicon layer.
A collaborative effort between NREL and CubicPV has yielded a perovskite minimodule that belongs in the record books. The 24.0% certified efficiency marks the first time a U.S. effort has set a record in the perovskite minimodule category. The researchers at NREL and at CubicPV, a company based in the … [continued]
Using an ionic salt to replace the fullerene layer in perovskite solar cells boosted their performance, efficiency, and durability, according to a global research effort led by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Their findings appear in the journal Science. The researchers said their findings point to a promising … [continued]
Perovskite solar is getting another moment in the sun, with outlandish claims matched by a lack of global perspective on advances. It’s worth stepping carefully through the various dimensions of this photovoltaic technology, weighing what enthusiasts say against what’s demonstrably true today. In doing so, it’s obvious that perovskite’s pathway … [continued]
