Scientists May Improve Perovskite Solar Cell Efficiency By Up To 250%

A University of Rochester research team has proposed a novel, physics-based approach, using a substrate of either a layer of metal or alternating layers of metal and dielectric material for perovskite based solar cells. Researchers typically synthesize perovskites in a wet lab, and then apply the material as a film on a glass substrate and explore various applications. Their reported findings have been published in Nature Photonics. The competition, silicon, the standard semiconducting material used in a host of applications…
