Collaborate Disseminate
To anyone who has spent some time in photovoltaic (PV) power circles, the word ‘perovskite’ probably sounds familiar. Offering arguably better bandgap properties than traditional silicon cells, perovskite-based PV panels …read more Continue reading First Tentative Sales of Tandem Perovskite-Silicon PV Panels
From a New York rooftop in the 1800s to their first journey to space. From kidnappings and bribery to a world-changing mistake with an inkwell… Solar panels are one of humanity’s greatest inventions, and their history is more fun than you thought.

Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we …read more Continue reading Stacking Solar Cells Is A Neat Trick To Maximise Efficiency
Random numbers are critical to encryption algorithms, but they’re nigh-on impossible for computers to generate. Now, Swedish researchers say they’ve created a new, super-secure quantum random number generator using cheap perovskite LEDs.Continue Readin… Continue reading Perovskite LED unlocks next-level quantum random number generation
The mammalian retina is a complex system consisting out of cones (for color) and rods (for peripheral monochrome) that provide the raw image data which is then processed into successive …read more Continue reading Perovskite Sensor Array Emulates Human Retina For Panchromatic Imaging
Perovskite is quickly gaining on silicon in the solar cell field, but it has one major drawback – durability. Now, a new treatment has been shown to keep perovskite solar cells working at 99% of their efficiency after 1,000 hours of use.Continue Readin… Continue reading New coating covers perovskite solar cells’ last Achilles heel
The dynamic duo of silicon and perovskite continue their rampage through the solar cell industry. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a new silicon/perovskite tandem solar cell with a record-breaking efficiency.
