Scientists in Sydney have broken the efficiency record for a new type of solar panel.
The success was created using perovesite, which has been seen as’Miracle material‘For its ability to improve everything from telecom Renewable energy,
A team from the University of Sydney achieved 27.06 percent efficiency with Triple-Junction Perovsite-Perovsite-silicon tendem solar cell, while also set new standards for durability for materials.
“This is an exciting time for solar research,” said Anita Ho-Bailey, a professor at the Nano Institute and School of Physics of the University of Sydney, who led the research.
“Perovsites are already showing us that we can carry forward capacity beyond the boundaries of silicone alone. These advances means that we are going close to cheap, more durable solar energy that will help give electricity to the lower carbon future.”
Perovskites are used rapidly in photovoltaic research, as they are able to capture more solar spectrum when stacked with silicon, which is the material used in traditional solar panels.
The next generation content is also more efficient, although the tendency to reduce the silicone-based solar panels at a faster than the laboratory settings can be difficult to scale.
The new record was achieved by re -organizing the chemistry of the perovsite content and by designing the triple junction design.
Upgrade made the solar cell less prone to defects and declines, which are important steps to overcome obstacles for technology commercialization.
“We improved both the performance and flexibility of these solar cells,” said Professor Ho-Bailey.
“It not only indicates that large, stable perocyte equipment are possible, but also show heavy capacity for further efficiency benefits.”
In trials, the new solar cell was able to retain 95 percent of its efficiency after continuous operation of more than 400 hours under light.
Success was published in The Scientific Journal on Tuesday Nature nanotechnologyPerovskite-Perovskite-Silicon Triple-Junction in a study titled ‘Telling Nanoskale Interface’ for solar cells.
