Proje Özeti

The proposed project aims to demonstrate the first multilayer solar cells based on nanostructured black silicon and hybrid perovskite materials, as a pathway to highly efficient conversion of light from the sun into electricity. The two materials are complementary; nanostructure black silicon enhances the absorption of red sunlight into the pre-existing technology of efficient silicon solar cells, whereas hybrid perovskite materials efficiently absorb blue sunlight. The combination of these two inexpensive materials for the first time provides a pathway towards achieving US Department of Energy goals for efficient solar cells that are very inexpensive to produce.
