Increasing efficiency in tandem silicon-perovskite solar cells

该项目旨在提高硅太阳能电池的效率。有机卤化物钙钛矿半导体将以市场可承受的成本将晶体硅的单结太阳能电池效率从目前的~25%提高到理论上的30%。该项目将有机卤化物钙钛矿半导体与硅电池集成在串联太阳能电池中，这是一种更有效地收集阳光的结构。该项目应能以可承受的成本为能源市场开发出效率高于30%的最先进太阳能电池。

This project aims to increase the efficiency of silicon solar cells. Organo-halide perovskites semiconductors will improve crystalline silicon’s single-junction solar cell efficiency from its current ~25% record to the theoretical limit of 30% at an affordable cost for the market. This project will integrate organo-halide perovskite semiconductors with silicon cells in a tandem solar cell, a structure that harvests sunlight more efficiently. This project should lead to the development of solar cells with state-of-the-art efficiencies greater than 30% at an affordable cost for the energy market.
