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%.

Microscopic frameworks might further boost perovskite solar cells
Solar cells based upon perovskite compounds might soon make electricity generation from sunlight even more efficient as well as more affordable. The laboratory effectiveness of these perovskite solar cells currently exceeds that of the widely known silicon solar cells. A worldwide team led by Stefan Weber from limit Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz has actually located tiny frameworks in perovskite crystals that can guide the charge transportation in the solar cell. Creative placement of these electron highways might make perovskite solar cells a lot more effective.

Enhancing the performance of solar cells with 'graphene armor'
A group of scientists, connected with UNIST has actually thought of a novel electrode that might substantially boost the security of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), one of the most promising prospect for the next generation solar cells because of their low cost and high power conversion effectiveness. This is due to the fact that putting a protection layer in between the metal-based electrode as well as the perovskite movie can stop metal-induced deterioration and that graphene, thus a layer, can effectively subdue the diffusion of steels and also halide ions.
