Scientists have found a solution to one of the main problems of perovskite solar panels
Solar panels are the beneficiaries of all green energy and there are more and more of them every year. The most promising panels are considered to be perovskite panels, which had a significant drawback. It was concluded in the increasing deformation of the crystal lattice of the material during operation. And how I managed to eliminate this drawback, I will now tell you.
What is the advantage of perovskite panels
Perovskite panels have gained their popularity due to their significantly higher efficiency when compared with classical silicon samples. The efficiency of the so-called joint panels (tandem of perovskite and silicon panels) of 27.2% is considered a very good indicator.
But the process of deformation of the crystal lattice, which began literally from the first days of the panels operation, significantly reduced their potential.
But the latest work by Australian scientists seems to have provided an answer to this problem.
New work of scientists and their proposed solution
In the course of numerous experiments, the scientific team worked with panels in which perovskites are mixed with halides.
For reference. This type of panels is considered the most promising, as they show increased resistance to moisture, ultraviolet radiation and high temperatures. And therefore, they are considered the most promising, but the problem with stability associated with light-induced phase segregation (high degradation of the crystal lattice) remains unresolved.
It has been found in numerous experiments that an increased luminous flux directed to panels like this will not sound paradoxical, it avoids deformations that are responsible for the deterioration of solar parameters panels.
It turns out that if you provide a high-intensity light flux to such panels, degradation processes practically stop.
So far, scientists cannot fully understand how this can be implemented in practice. So far there is a proposal to use solar capacitors on such panels, but not a single working prototype has yet been created.
Scientists are working on this problem and how they will have a solution, this will bring the whole world closer to such an ambitious project as a completely green energy with zero carbon emissions.
