Army, Navy Lend Muscle To New 2-D Perovskite Solar Cell That’s 18% More Efficient

Recent iterations of perovskite solar technology have added 2-D structures to enhance stability. The Rice team decided to do away with the 3-D “bulk” structure and go straight for the 2-D. That’s when the magic happened. The actual amount of squeezing is minuscule, but it makes a big difference. After exposure to a solar simulator, the team’s perovskite lattice contracted about 0.4% lengthwise and 1.0% vertically.
In the perovskite field, part of the credit does go to the material itself. A quantum leap in materials science in the past 30 years has also factored in, including the introduction of new, more powerful diagnostic tools funded by the taxpaying public, so group hug for us.
