Researchers in Switzerland have replaced the electron transport layers in perovskite solar cells with a thin layer of quantum dots. On an area of 0.08cm 2, they achieved a record efficiency of 25. ...

The scientists presented their findings in the study “ Binary Hole Transport Layer Enables Stable Perovskite Solar Cells with PCE Exceeding 24%,” which was recently published in DeCarbon.

The global thin film photovoltaics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12-15% from 2025-2035, driven by perovskite, CdTe, and CIGS solar technologies. While crystalline silicon dominates 90% of ...

In particular, the temperature cycles caused thermal stress, i.e. stress both within the perovskite thin film and between the different adjacent layers: "In a perovskite solar cell, layers of very ...

It bonds with its silicon neighbor atoms, but one electron is not involved in bonding. Instead, it is free to move inside the silicon structure. A solar cell consists of a layer of p-type silicon ...
