Scientists raise the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite by 250%.
Researchers from Korea's Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Rochester in the U.S, and The Australian National University have actually boosted the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite for solar cell applications by 250%. They developed a perovskite film with a plasmonic substrate made from hyperbolic metamaterial and characterized it with transition dipole orientation.

Molecular resonances lower the optimum possible photovoltage in natural solar cells
Researchers at TU Dresden and also Hasselt University in Belgium examined the physical reasons that restrict the performance of unique solar cells based upon natural molecular products. Presently, the voltage of such cells is still also reduced-- one factor for their still fairly reduced effectiveness.
