Perovskite solar cell design delivers efficiencies to rival those made of silicon
The dual-sided solar cells achieve a front conversion efficiency of 24.3 per cent and a rear conversion efficiency of 23.4 per cent. (Image: Eric Byler/The Australian National University)
‘This is a world record for selectively laser-doped solar cells and among the highest efficiency bifacial solar cells’
A new dipping process using a sulfolane additive creates high-performing perovskite solar cells. The method is inexpensive and well-suited for scaling up to commercial production. (Image: LANL)
The sulfolane-additive process yields easy fabrication, low-cost, top performance and long operating life
The solar film is low-cost, light, easy to install and can be used off-grid
