Printed security for perovskite cells
Scientists led by the University of Cambridge have created a brand-new approach to print a protective layer of copper straight onto a perovskite solar cell, supplying protection to the energetic layer from damages frequently created in later manufacturing phases. Cells using this layer were evaluated in various tandem mixes with silicon cells and achieved a maximum efficiency of 24.4%.
