Materials scientists discover why perovskite solar cells degrade in sunlight
Materials researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering as well as colleagues from five other universities all over the world have discovered the significant reason that perovskite solar cells-- which show excellent assurance for improved energy-conversion performance-- degrade in sunlight, causing their performance to suffer over time.

Removing the lead risk from perovskite solar cells
Although they provide a very encouraging service for recording solar energy, perovskite solar cells consist of lead, which is toxic to the atmosphere as well as a major health hazard. EPFL scientists have actually currently discovered a really sophisticated and also efficient service to this, by including a clear phosphate salt that does not interfere with light-conversion efficiency while protecting against lead from permeating into the dirt in cases of photovoltaic panel failing.

New metallization tech to reduce microcracks in solar cells
A U.S. research group has developed a metal-carbon-nanotube composite – MetZilla – which can be embedded in commercial, screen-printable silver pastes and is said to reduce the formation of hotspots in solar modules and to prolong panel lifespan. The composite metal contacts are also ‘self-healing’ as they are able to regain electrical continuity after cycles of complete electrical failure caused by extreme strain.
