New breakthrough in solar energy technology

Solar technology is making a breakthrough after scientists at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have uncovered a new way to make solar cells more efficient and cost-effective. cheaper .

In the past, perovskite, which is known for its ability to make solar cells efficient, can convert 15 percent of its energy from sunlight into electricity, close to 20 percent of solar panels made from silicon on the market today.

However, scientists have failed to explain how the process works to improve the efficiency of perovskite in the production of solar cells. Therefore, the NTU team is the first scientists in the world to find answers to this problem.

Accordingly, the electron generated during the sun's absorption can move very far in the pervovskite material.

Associate Professor Sum Tze Chien, a member of the team, said the findings could help scientists improve the solar cell's ability to absorb more light and generate more electricity.

Dr. Nripan Matthews, another member, also said that from here they could create new solar panels, even and even more efficient solar panels made of silicon.

According to the research team, with the inorganic-organic composite material, the next generation of solar panels will cost five times cheaper than today's silicon-based batteries.
