Breakthrough in solar technology
FAU researchers are developing a new material system that can be used in efficient and durable solar cells. The mineral perovskite has a reputation as a miracle optoelectronic semiconductor, particularly when it comes to solar technology applications. It is highly efficient, but unfortunately still almost completely unsuited for everyday uses due to incompatible interfaces. Researchers […]
