Stable solar cells from perovskite
Perovskite is a promising material. It captures the sun's rays and efficiently converts them into solar energy. It is also much cheaper than the current generation of silicon solar cells. But why are the Dutch rooftops not yet massively filled with solar cells of perovskite to capture solar energy? "Perovskite has a rather soft structure that easily changes phase," says TU/e researcher Junke Jiang. He was therefore looking for a way to make the relatively cheap solar cells of perovskite more stable and therefore more efficient.
