New Lead-Free Perovskite Material for Solar Cells Updated On Mon, Apr 9th, 2018 by Saurenergy A class of materials called perovskites has emerged as a promising alternative to silicon for making inexpensive and efficient solar cells. But for all their promise, perovskites are not without their downsides. Most contain lead, which is highly toxic, and include organic materials that are not particularly stable when exposed to the environment. Now a […] Read more
Relaxed Crystal Increases Solar Cell Efficiency Updated On Sat, Apr 7th, 2018 by Saurenergy According to the researchers, the research represents a significant step toward stable perovskite-based solar cells for next generation solar-to-electricity and solar-to-fuel technologies. The researchers have discovered that constant illumination relaxes strain in perovskite’s crystal lattice, allowing it to uniformly expand in all directions. A collaborative research led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory found that […] Read more
