China achieves record efficiency in flexible tandem solar cells
Researchers in China have found better ways to make perovskite / CIGS tandem solar cells and hit a new efficiency record with flexible cells.
Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found a new way to stick different layers of tandem solar cells and achieved a new efficiency record. Image credit: audioundwerbung/iStock A research team led by YE Jichun, a professor at NIMTE in China, used a high-polarity solvent to prevent the clustering of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) adsorption, effectively separating the process from the dissolution step. The research also shows that flexible tandem solar cells with higher energy conversion efficiency can be built at commercial scales in the future.
