NTU Singapore Scientists Develop Eco-friendly Capping Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) have found a way to stabilize perovskite solar cells using non-toxic metal-based capping materials. This paves the way for commercial use of perovskite cells, which, despite superior efficiency and lower production costs, contain lead, posing an environmental threat when decomposed. The researchers used the full precursor (FP) solution method, which allowed them to synthesize the capping layer of solar cells without lead. The zinc-based compound, PEA2ZnX4, was the most effective among the materials tested, and the process was more efficient than the half precursor (HP) method.

Research reveals factors limiting the voltage of polycrystalline CdSeTe solar cells
So far, solar cells based on polycrystalline cadmium selenide telluride (CdSeTe) have actually shown some crucial constraints, despite their low construction costs as well as useful qualities. Most notably, these solar cells display higher voltage losses than other mature photovoltaic or pv innovations (crystalline silicon, for example) as well as this considerably hinders their efficiency and also performance.
