Dual-layer solar cell sets record for efficiently generating power

Friday, August 31, 2018 - 10:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Materials scientists from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have developed a highly efficient thin-film solar cell that generates more energy from sunlight than typical solar panels, thanks to its double-layer design. The device is made by spraying a thin layer of perovskite — an inexpensive compound of lead and iodine that has been shown […]
