Australian Scientists Hit 30% Efficiency with Perovskite Solar Cells!
In a groundbreaking achievement, a team from the University of Sydney, led by Professor Anita Ho-Baillie, has developed a perovskite solar cell reaching 30% efficiency, joining an elite group of just eight globally!
Their innovative monolithic perovskite-Si tandem cell combines perovskite and silicon to create a double junction cell. This approach, using morpholinium bromide (MLBr) for improved performance, positions them well for future advancements.
Next on their agenda? Exploring triple junction cells with a theoretical efficiency of around 50% and enhancing the longevity of perovskite cells to match silicon's durability.
The team, in collaboration with SunDrive, aims to make these high-performance cells commercially viable, with a focus on simplicity and long-term reliability.
Meanwhile, other Australian researchers are also making strides in perovskite technology, with initiatives ranging from testing processes to ultra-low-cost manufacturing.
Globally, companies like Oxford PV and Microquanta are scaling up production, with Oxford PV recently achieving 25% efficiency with larger panels. 🌐🏭
Congratulations to the University of Sydney team for this impressive milestone!
