New study reveals secrets to solar success – Tech Xplore

A new study shows how researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) achieved a world record in solar cell efficiency.
The study focused on perovskite solar cellsmade using a special group of materials which are cheap and easy to manufacture.
The group achieved 21.6 percent efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity, a new record for perovskite solar cells larger than one square centimeter in size.
According to lead researcher Associate Professor Tom White, they managed to achieve…
