Researchers develop efficient solar cell technology by imitating plants' photosynthesis procedure
By causing a suitable electron flow procedure called vectorial transfer, South Korean researchers had the ability to create a solar cell production technique that can produce cells with as much as 60 percent more electron transfer efficiency than traditional cells. The brand-new technique allows photovoltaic cells to manage electron flow in one desired instructions to minimize the loss of electrons throughout power generation.

Mini perovskite solar module with 40 sq cm aperture area, 17% efficiency
The 19.2%- efficient perovskite cells made use of in the module depend on an electron layer based on tin oxide that was transferred through chemical bath deposition. This technique, according to the gadget's creators, has made it possible to have a reasonably small decrease in efficiency from small cells to the 40cm2 module.
