Hybrid near-infrared light capturing solar cell retains 80% performance after 800 hours
SMRTR summary
Korean researchers have developed a high-efficiency hybrid solar cell that captures both visible and near-infrared light. The new technology combines perovskite and organic photo-semiconductors, boosting power conversion efficiency to 24.0% from 20.4%. The solar cell achieves a record 78% internal quantum efficiency in the near-infrared region and maintains over 80% performance after 800 hours in humid conditions. This advancement expands light absorption range, potentially increasing electricity generation from sunlight and paving the way for next-generation solar cell commercialization.
