Smoother perovskite films push triple-junction solar cells to 30.1%
Original: Smoother perovskite films lift three-layer solar cell efficiency to 30.1%
Researchers report that making perovskite films smoother has raised the efficiency of a three-layer, or triple-junction, solar cell to 30.1%, a notable step for next-generation photovoltaics. Perovskite technology is watched closely because it promises higher efficiency at lower cost than conventional silicon, though stability and manufacturing remain hurdles. The result adds to a string of efficiency records keeping perovskite research at the center of solar energy discussions.
Why now: New efficiency record for perovskite-based multi-junction solar cells signals progress toward cheaper, more powerful solar power.
