Concentrate on the downsides: A brand-new course to extremely effective tandem cells
Researchers in the U.S. and also South Korea have actually recognized what could be a brand-new course to high-efficiency perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. With design adversely billed bits in the passivation layer, the team made a tandem cell with 26.7% performance. With more tweaks to the silicon layer they anticipate to be able to exceed 30%.
