Breakthrough in solar technology: Flexible steel substrate boosts efficiency to 18.1% in new perovskite-CIGS tandem cell. A game-changer in photovoltaics!

Discover how a new nanoscale coating of aluminum oxide on metal halide perovskite significantly improves energy output of perovskite solar cells, bringing us closer to global net zero targets. Researchers from University of Surrey, University of Warwick and UNSW explain.

Australian researchers develop record-breaking PSC on steel with 17.1% efficiency, leveraging ITO interlayer, SnO2 ETL, and OABra passivation strategy.

A global study group that included teams from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, University of Fribourg, the University of the Basque Country and also the University of New South Wales has actually assessed the levels of efficiency and stability that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) need to attain in order to end up being an economically viable technology to compete with crystalline silicon cells in the rooftop segment.

The solar-powered electrical car "Sunswift 7" established by a team of pupils at the University of New South Wales in Australia has actually established an unofficial globe record-- pending alert of the dimension results-- for electrical cars to cover 1,000 kilometers on one battery fee. An access in the Guinness Book of Records has been obtained.

A new version of UNSW's SunSPOT solar calculator now covers every one of Australia as well as allows households, small businesses and also councils to obtain independent solar and battery savings estimates.

Kesterite Cu2ZnSn( S, Se) 4 is an arising and assuring green photovoltaic or pv material, as it is abundant in the world, does not harm the environment, as well as has a steady structure, a fantastic tunability and also advantageous optoelectronic homes. Despite their qualities, solar cells based upon kesterite normally have poor power conversion efficiencies, which hinder their commercialization and also large-scale implementation.

A perovskite solar cell (PSC) with an one-of-a-kind passivation method based upon the application of guanidinium (Gua) and also octylammonium (Oa) spacer cations has actually gotten in the solar scene; thanks to a team of scientists from Flinders University, the University of New South Wales, and Australian National University.

A team of researchers at the University of New South Wales has actually discovered that because of enhanced needs for photovoltaic panels in the coming years there will certainly be a corresponding boost in the requirement for aluminum to sustain them.

Australian-Russian Research team has actually created Gallium-doped p-type SHJ solar cell wafers. They are 22.6% efficient with better stability and also cheaper costs.
