Solar pioneers are exploring ways to replace conventional silicon solar panels with lighter and more efficient solar cells printed on flexible plastic films to disprove the thesis that Australia "doesn't do" advanced manufacturing.
We speak with Professor Hongxia Wang from QUT about a new project that hopes to utilize graphene and other low-cost carbon materials to produce commercially viable, ultra low-cost, flexible perovskite solar cells.
May 11, 2021 Share Researchers are constantly thinking up new ways to improve solar cell technology. They’re figuring out what’s holding them back from achieving maximum efficiency and incorporating novel materials to enhance their performance. One of the latest in the latter is the use of carbon dots made from human hair waste sourced from a barbershop. The dots form a kind of ‘armor’ that enhances the performance of perovskites solar cells – a relatively new photovoltaic technology seen as the best candidate to deliver highly efficient solar electricity at a low cost in c...
