Establishing brand-new ultrathin metal electrodes has actually enabled scientists to produce semitransparent perovskite solar cells that are extremely efficient and also can be paired with traditional silicon cells to considerably improve the efficiency of both devices, stated a global team of researchers. The study stands for an action towards developing completely transparent solar cells.

A U.S. research team has used protein bacteriorhodopsin to improve the efficiency of what it called ‘bioperovskite’ solar cells. The scientists used Förster Resonance Energy Transfer to predict the strength of long-range excitonic transport between the perovskite and protein layers.
