Newswise — A ‘simple’ tweak to perovskite solar cells during the fabrication stage could help to unlock the untold potential of the renewable energy source, claims research from the University of Surrey. Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) has demonstrated that by precisely controlling the fabrication process, it is possible to regulate and reduce unwanted energy loss in perovskite solar panels. Dr Bowei Li, a lead researcher of the programme at the Advanced Technology Institute, University of Surrey, said: “The future of perovskite solar panels is incredibly exciting, with the promise of not only improving the performance of solar farms and roof panels but many opportunities in powering spacecraft and interstellar probes. “We hope the relatively straightforward approach demonstrated in our study, which tackles recombination losses, can improve the…
