World-record: 26.4% efficiency from new flexible solar cell could enable next-gen drones
SMRTR summary
Scientists at SERIS have developed a record-breaking flexible solar cell with 26.4% efficiency. The tandem design combines a perovskite top layer with a custom-engineered organic bottom layer featuring P2EH-1V, a molecule highly effective at absorbing near-infrared light. This breakthrough could enable integration of solar power into wearable technology, drones, and other applications where lightweight, flexible power sources are crucial.
