Photon recycling: The secret to high-efficiency perovskite solar cells
Scientists from TU Dresden, in cooperation with researchers at Seoul National University (SNU) and Korea University (KU), demonstrated the role of the re-use of photons (called 'photon recycling') and also light scattering effects in perovskite solar cells, supplying a pathway towards high-efficiency solar energy conversion. The study has been published in Science Developments.

High-efficiency perovskite tandem solar cells making use of cross-linked layers
The power conversion performance (PCE) of single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has actually increased remarkably from 3.8% to 25.2% in simply a decade. As the quick development of PCE has been approaching the limit of its academic performance, making tandem solar cells by incorporating subcells with different bandgaps offers an avenue to surpass the Shockley-Queisser restrictions of single-junction solar cells.
