Researchers Achieve Record-Setting Perovskite Tandem Solar Cell with Novel NIR-Harvesting Molecule

Summary by TechXplore
Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated a perovskite–organic tandem solar cell with a certified world-record power conversion efficiency of 26.4% over a 1 cm2 active area—making it the highest-performing device of its kind to date. This milestone is driven by a newly designed narrow-bandgap organic absorber that significantly enhances near-infrared (NIR) photon harvesting, a long-standing bottleneck in thin-fil…

Solar cells made of a synthetic material that has the structure of the natural mineral perovskite, but is composed differently, makes the established silicon solar cells competition. They have approximately the same efficiency, but are significantly cheaper and more environmentally friendly in production and much lighter. Only the lifespan remains to be desired. Researchers around the world have set themselves up to change this. Also in offices,…

The tandem device, designed by researchers at the Singapore Solar Energy Research Institute (SERIS), is based on a lower organic cell that can achieve a remarkable energy conversion efficiency of 17.9% and a high short-circuit current density of 28.60 mA/cm2. In addition, it uses a higher perovskite solar cell with an open circuit voltage of 1.37 V and a filling factor of 85.5%. Researchers at the Singapore Solar Energy Research Institute (SERIS…

The tandem cell combines perovskite with organic material. It could make batteries superfluous in the future.
