Over the past few decades, engineers as well as material scientists have produced progressively innovative as well as effective solar innovations. Some of these innovations are based upon photovoltaics with a supposed heterojunction framework, which involves the combination of two materials with distinct optoelectronic homes.

The group of Prof. Yana Vaynzof at the Integrated Center for Physics as well as Photonic Materials (IAPP) and also the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at Technische Universität Dresden has demonstrated a novel concept for solar cells that exploits the ability of materials to exist in various crystalline phases. The relevant study has actually now been released in the journal Nature Energy.

In a joint effort between Pavia University (Italy) as well as the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden at Technische Universität Dresden (Germany), scientists created a novel method to make lead halide perovskite solar cells with record performance. Results have been published in Science Advances.
