Perovskites under pressure: Hot electrons cool down quicker
In solar cells, regarding 2 third of the power of sunshine is lost. Fifty percent of this loss results from a process called 'hot provider cooling' where high power photons shed their excess power in the form of warm before being converted to electrical energy. Researchers at AMOLF have actually located a way to control the speed of this process in perovskites by using stress to the product.
