The remaining challenge is to figure out how to make the tandems at low cost. In the last few years perovskite semiconductors have emerged as one of the most promising materials for solar cells. The ...

Lunar regolith, the loose rock debris that coats the Moon ... They heated up the simulant to create moonglass, then added perovskite, a crystalline material and one that is known for its ability ...

One of the technologies being worked on is called PeLED, for Perovskite LED. As a semiconductor material, it can both be induced to emit photons as well as respond rather strongly to incoming photons.

To anyone who has spent some time in photovoltaic (PV) power circles, the word ‘perovskite’ probably sounds familiar. Offering arguably better bandgap properties than traditional silicon cells ...

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have built a lead halide perovskite solar cell incorporating an organic cation based on benzodithiophene (BDT), a polymer that ...

TU Delft researchers have investigated for the first time the effect rear irradiance has on the optimal bandgap energy and thickness of the perovskite cell in a bifacial two-terminal perovskite ...

There is a cheaper way to make solar panels, also called photovoltaics (PVs), using crystal structures called perovskites. However, perovskite crystals contain toxic elements like lead ...

This is borne out by the mineral relationships in the rock and various diagnostic elemental ratios, which reveal that perovskite and salt minerals grew from the same magma. When looked at in light ...

LONGi independently developed a two-terminal crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell that has achieved a conversion efficiency of 34.85%, certified by the U.S. National Renewable Energy ...

The general formula for a perovskite is ABO3 where A and B are cations. The easiest way to visualize the structure is in terms of the BO6 octahedra which share corners infinitely in all 3 dimensions, ...
