Scientists have found a way to slow down the cooling of electrons in solar panels by 1,000 times - a way to surpass current efficiency limits
Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have discovered why a promising solar panel material can retain the energy of “hot” electrons about 1,000 times longer than usual. The discovery could help push the theoretical limits of solar cell efficiency, which has long been estimated to be around 33%. Image source: Chelsea/Unsplash Solar […]
A research team from the Netherlands University of Groningen has found out how tin-based perovskite solar modules are able to hold the energy of so-called hot electrons for an abnormally long time. This breakthrough opens up a theoretical opportunity to design solar cells whose efficiency will exceed the classical limit of 33%.
