Although local defects in chloride-iodide-based perovskite are hard to avoid due to ion migration, a group of scientists from the University of New South Wales has found a way to passivate them. They used different combinations of 4-chlorobenzylammonium chloride and 4-chlorobenzylammonium bromide on top of the hole transport layer and reached up to 15% improvement in efficiency. #Renewables #Australia #Solarenergy

Elumina has officially opened a manufacturing and development centre in Queensland’s southeast that it says will be the first in Australia capable of producing both community-scale lithium batteries and electric vehicle chargers. #Renewables #Australia #Solarenergy
