Northwestern University

Breakthrough research at Northwestern Univ. yields record-breaking efficiency for perovskite solar cells. New dual-molecule solution solves electron losses from surface defects & interfaces, achieving 25.1% efficiency. Research builds on prior Nature paper.

Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada, Northwestern University, The University of Toledo and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, Yunnan University in China, Ecole Polytechnique Fedérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and also University of Warwick in the UK have developed a triple-junction perovskite solar cell with a document performance of 24.3% with an open-circuity voltage of 3.21 V.

Researchers from The University of Toledo, University of Washington, Northwestern University, University of Toronto and Empa-- Swiss Federal Laboratories for Products Science and Innovation, have actually attended to a significant difficulty standing in the way of the commercialization of halide perovskite solar cells - their durability - by finding a component that enhances adhesion and mechanical strength.

Scientists at Rice University, INSA Rennes, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory as well as Northwestern University have actually handled to directly visualize the architectural dynamics in monocrystalline 2D perovskites.
