Piling solar cells boosts their efficiency. Dealing with partners in the PERCISTAND project, scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have produced perovskite/CIS tandem solar cells with an efficiency of nearly 25% the highest value achieved so far with this technology.
Given the ubiquity of devices in our lives and the waste that they create, researchers have been seeking various solutions to create more environmentally friendly electronics and display technologies.
To this end, scientists in Germany have developed a new technology and technique for producing more sustainable displays for devices that can biodegrade and thus be discarded without producing pollution, they said.
A team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) developed new display technology based on the so-called electrochromic effect of the organic material used in the display, which uses light absorption to change colors, researchers said. They produced the technology using inkjet printing.
