US Launches “Game Changer” Perovskite Solar Cells At Natural Gas |
The global energy landscape after the COVID-19 crisis is still an open question, but it looks like the US Department of Energy is coming down firmly on the side of solar energy. Among the latest developments, the agency's National Renewable Energy Laboratory has just revved up a new public-private consortium aimed at propelling low-cost perovskite solar cells into the marketplace.
How Low Can Solar Go? Perovskite Solar Cells Go Low, Low, Low
For those of you new to the topic, perovskite is a naturally occurring crystalline material that can be synthesized, tweaked, and tailored to tease out some mighty fine solar conversion capabilities at a relatively low cost.
Perovskite solar cells are also thin and flexible, which means they can be produced through high efficiency, high volume manufacturing solutions-based methods like printing and spraying.
Aside from being impressive at solar conversion for generating electricity, perovskite solar cells could also be deployed in other interesting applications.
"Perovskites have shown tremendous promise in a range of other technologies, including solid-state lighting, advanced radiation detection, dynamic sensing and actuation, photo-catalysis, and quantum information science," enthuses NREL.
