Microscopic frameworks might further boost perovskite solar cells
Solar cells based upon perovskite compounds might soon make electricity generation from sunlight even more efficient as well as more affordable. The laboratory effectiveness of these perovskite solar cells currently exceeds that of the widely known silicon solar cells. A worldwide team led by Stefan Weber from limit Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz has actually located tiny frameworks in perovskite crystals that can guide the charge transportation in the solar cell. Creative placement of these electron highways might make perovskite solar cells a lot more effective.
