Micropollutants such as steroid hormones pollute drinking water around the world and, even in the smallest quantities, pose a considerable risk to human health and the environment. Well-scalable technologies for water treatment that remove it efficie
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology An innovative combination of processes enables the interconnection of cells to form modules with nearly no losses. (Photo: Amadeus Bramsiepe, KIT) From cell to module without loss of efficiency: This is one of the main challenges of perovskite photovoltaics. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now managed to produce perovskite solar modules with minimum scaling loss. For this purpose, they combined laser-based series interconnections with vacuum processing of all layers of the solar cell. They achieved an 18 percent efficiency on an a...
Our NanoNews Digest Sponsors Home > Press > Shedding light on perovskite films: Efficient materials for future solar cells - New model to determine photoluminescence quantum efficiency In terms of efficiency, perovskite solar cells have caught up on silicon solar cells, but some of their properties are not yet understood completely. CREDIT Markus Breig, KIT Abstract: Photovoltaics decisively contributes to sustainable energy supply. The efficiency of solar cells in directly converting light energy into electrical energy depends on the material used. Metal-halide perovskites are considered ver...

The efficiency of solar cells in directly converting light energy into electrical energy depends on the material used. Metal-halide perovskites are considered very promising materials for solar cells of the next generation. With these semiconductors named after their special crystal structure, a considerable increase i...
Efficient Materials for Future Solar Cells – New Model to Determine Photoluminescence Quantum Efficiency In terms of efficiency, perovskite solar cells have caught up on silicon solar cells, but some of their properties are not yet understood completely. (Photo: Markus Breig, KIT) Perovskite semiconductors are considered promising materials for solar cells of the next generation. Suitability of a semiconductor for photovoltaics is reflected among others by the so-called photoluminescence quantum efficiency. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now developed a model,...
