The solar cells can be teamed up with tandem solar cells and also pave the way for use in windows to tap into solar energy.
High-efficiency solar cells are needed as the world looks to phase out its dependence on fossil fuels for its energy demands. Conventionally deployed solar cells have an energy conversion efficiency of only 20 percent, meaning we cannot tap into 80 percent of light incidents on existing solar infrastructure.
The high-energy particles received by the solar cell with transparent electrodes result in the degradation of the performance of the hole transport layer. This layer is crucial in a perovskite cell since it allows the transfer of photogenerated holes to the external circuit.
