The research team led by Dr. Liang Jia, a young researcher at the School of Intelligent Materials and Future Energy Innovation at Fudan University, Shanghai, has developed a tin-based perovskite solar cell. Not only does it achieve a completely harmless lifecycle, it also breaks the world record for photoelectric conversion efficiency of tin-based perovskite solar cells with an impressive 17.7%.
According to China News Service, Fudan University announced on the 16th that the related results were published online as an accelerated preview in the journal Nature on the evening of October 15, Beijing time.
In the global race for clean energy, perovskite solar cells have become a popular direction for new-generation photovoltaic technology due to their high efficiency, low cost, and easy processing. However, the core material of this technology contains lead, which poses potential environmental and health risks.
Liang Jia stated that this technology is especially suitable for applications in energy fields that are in close contact with humans. As an example, automobile roofs can directly use this type of solar cell, achieving stable power generation while effectively avoiding lead-induced poisoning hazards.
In the future, this green photovoltaic technology is expected to be widely deployed in fields such as building-integrated photovoltaics, wearable energy devices, automobile roofs, and off-grid clean power supply systems.
