Bulky additives could make cheaper solar cells last longer
From University of Michigan 12/01/24 An insight into preventing perovskite semiconductors from degrading quickly, discovered at the University of Michigan, could help enable solar cells estimated to be two to four times cheaper than today’s thin-film solar panels. Perovskites may also be combined with the silicon-based semiconductors that are prevalent in today’s solar panels to […]
The dynamic duo: Integrating silicon and perovskite solar tech boosts efficiency and resilience
From Princeton University 06/09/23 While conventional silicon-based solar cells have had an unmistakable impact on the buildout of renewable energy resources around the world, additional performance improvements have become increasingly difficult to make as the devices approach their practical efficiency limits. This constraint has prompted scientists to seek out new technologies that can be combined […]
