Disorder-engineered inorganic nanocrystals set a new efficiency record for ultrathin solar cells

Castelldefels, Spain (SPX) Feb 15, 2022
Displayed over roof tops and in solar farms, silicon-based solar cells are, so far, one of the most efficient systems in generating electricity from sunlight, but their fabrication can be expensive and energy demanding, aside from being heavy and bulky. The alternative solution of lower-cost thin film solar cells also brings the caveat of being mainly composed of toxic elements such as lead or c This article was originally published by Solardaily.com.
