‘Printable’ perovskite solar cells achieve 26% efficiency, 20-year lifespan | The other major benefit is that these new generation perovskite solar cells can be printed at very low room temperatures.


The team was also able to address the stability issues by demonstrating perovskite solar cells with an estimated lifetime of over 20 years.

Researchers have developed a new generation of printable perovskite solar cells that can offer higher efficiency and stability, lower cost and scalability, and a minimal carbon footprint. According to a press release by the CityUHK, the new generation perovskite solar cell developed by the researchers has achieved power conversion efficiency of over 26% in laboratory testing. This makes them easier for integration with various applications, including building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) (such as semi-transparent solar cells for skyscraper windows), and powering indoor Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors and wearable electronics.
