Scientists Boost Efficiency of Perovskite Solar Cells by 250% with a New Technique

Cheaper to produce and with an ability to absorb higher energy forms of light, Perovskite materials have the potential to replace silicon in solar panel technology. However, scientists are still trying to figure a way to make perovskites more stable and long-lasting. Scientists at the University of Rochester and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have figured out a way to increase the efficiency of a type of perovskite by 250%. They are trying to achieve it by combining the perovskite with a substrate of metal instead of glass. This method will boost the light conversion efficiency because of the improved … Continue reading Scientists Boost Efficiency of Perovskite Solar Cells by 250% with a New Technique
