Record efficiency - tandem solar cells made from perovskite and organic material

“This was only possible by combining two major breakthroughs”

04-Dec-2024 - Trying to improve the efficiency of solar cells to become independent from fossil energy sources is a major goal of solar cell research. A team around the physicist Dr. Felix Lang from the University of Potsdam, Prof. Lei Meng and Prof. Yongfang Li from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, ...

Insight into loss processes in perovskite solar cells enables efficiency improvements

03-Aug-2018 - In perovskite solar cells, charge carriers are mainly lost through recombination occurring at interface defect sites. In contrast, recombination at defect sites within the perovskite layer does not limit the performance of the solar cells at present. Teams from the University of Potsdam and the ...
