Customer ServiceA group of engineers from ETH Zurich has developed a photovoltaic ceramic that could revolutionize the industry. ETH Zurich scientists have designed a new ceramic material capable of converting sunlight into energy with an efficiency a thousand times greater than traditional solar panels.
The photovoltaic ceramic is enriched with a perovskite structure, a metal-organic framework structured in a two-dimensional network. This technology allows for the splitting of water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen thanks to the electric charge generated by light. The produced hydrogen can be stored and used as an energy carrier.
The fact that perovskite and double perovskite materials have some advantages over silicon-based solar cells has led to global interest in the study of their properties and the development of ways to improve their efficiency and address issues related to stability and production.
However, the prospects for market development are vast, and PSCs can revolutionise the solar industry on the planet. In this chapter, the most recent methods for the synthesis of small- and large-scale perovskite-based solar cells are described.
This chapter also explores some of the new research areas of interest, including tandem solar cells, perovskite-based multi-junction solar cells, and perovskite quantum dots, all expected to advance the photovoltaic efficiency and versatility further.
