Breakthrough In Perovskite Solar Cells
July 10, 2018 | 1 Comment
University of Surrey researchers believe their new technique has produced the highest performing inverted perovskite solar cell ever recorded. Perovskite based cells are widely expected to be the next generation of solar cells, offering similar power conversion efficiency (PCE) performance, but at a much lower cost than today’s dominant crystalline silicon based solar cells. In […]

Discovery Boosts Perovskite Solar Cells By Curing Defects
April 25, 2018 | 1 Comment
Rice University scientists have discovered a novel phenomenon of light-induced lattice expansion in perovskite materials. The lattice expansion cures bulk and interface defects, which leads to an enhancement of perovskite optoelectronic properties. In a collaboration led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory found that to be the case with a perovskite compound touted […]

New Records For Perovskite Solar Cells
October 3, 2017 | 2 Comments
Scientists have greatly improved the operational stability of perovskite solar cells. The devices lost less than 5 percent performance when subjected to a crucial accelerated aging test during which they were exposed for more than 1,000 hours to full sunlight at 60° C. The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) team introduced cuprous thiocyanate protected […]

Major Advancement For Perovskite Solar Cells
November 10, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Physicists at the University of California – Berkeley have boosted the efficiency of perovskite that holds promise as base for next-generation solar cells. Perovskite solar cells are made of a mix of organic molecules and inorganic elements that together capture light and convert it into electricity, just like today’s more common silicon-based solar cells. Perovskite […]

Understanding How to Make Perovskite Solar Cells Better
July 21, 2016 | 1 Comment
University of Houston researchers have reported the first explanation for how perovskite materials change during production. The team’s goal was to find a more efficient way to absorb light, a critical step toward the large-scale manufacture of better and less-expensive perovskite solar panels. Yan Yao, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead author […]
