Solar cell efficiency record achieved with tin halide perovskite

Bendable Solar Cells Smash Efficiency Records – And May Soon Outperform Rigid Panels

A breakthrough by Chinese scientists has pushed flexible solar technology forward by solving a major design challenge: bonding smooth perovskite layers to rougher CIGS substrates. Their new technique uses smart solvent manipulation and a seeded layer to improve adhesion, efficiency, and durability. The result is a flexible tandem solar cell that rivals rigid models in [...]

Solar cell efficiency record achieved with tin halide perovskite

University of Queensland researchers have set a world record for solar cell efficiency with eco-friendly perovskite technology. A team led by Professor Lianzhou Wang has unveiled a tin halide perovskite (THP) solar cell capable of converting sunlight to electricity at a certified record efficiency of 16.65%. The research is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
