Chance discovery boosts perovskite tandem solar cell efficiency

Original: Chance discovery boosts the efficiency of perovskite tandem solar cells

Researchers report that a chance discovery has improved the efficiency of perovskite tandem solar cells, a next-generation photovoltaic technology that pairs perovskite layers with silicon to capture more of the solar spectrum. The unexpected finding could push conversion efficiencies higher and accelerate efforts to commercialise tandem cells as a cheaper, more powerful alternative to conventional silicon-only panels.

Why now: Efficiency gains in perovskite tandems are a closely watched step toward cheaper, more powerful solar power.
