Solar cells are viewed as mature technology these days, but every so often we still get a surprise. Case in point, Oxford PV have developed a material that can be applied in thin coating layers to build up the light-absorbing layers that form the core of a solar cell. The material is based on materials called perovskites. It can be tweaked to absorb light at different wavelengths. That in effect means that each of the coats can absorb a different part of the light spectrum. So, the combination of layers can be designed to make use of more of the sunlight than a "traditional" solar cell. I'm curious about the longevity of the material - early perovskites-based solar cells had a shorter lifespan than silicon-based cells. I wonder what the situation is here. #solarenergy #solarcells #innovation #perovskites #renewables #climatetech #cleantech

Optimizing electrically conductive adhesives for solar cell interconnections: German research institute ISC Konstanz has developed a new method to measure the contact resistance of solar cell interconnections made with electrically conductive adhesives (ECA). The proposed approach reportedly enables the precise characterization of both contact resistivity and bulk resistivity. #Renewables #Energy #Technology

"Photovoltaic (PV) technologies, which convert light into electricity, are increasingly applied worldwide to generate renewable energy. Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a molecular treatment that significantly enhances the efficiency and durability of perovskite solar cells. Their breakthrough will potentially accelerate the large-scale production of this clean energy. A key to the solution was their successful identification of critical parameters that determine the performance and lifespan of halide perovskites, a next-generation photovoltaic material which has emerged as one of the most promising materials in PV devices for its unique crystal structure. The findings have been published in Science." #pv #solar #efficiency #durability #materialscience
