Research on novel photovoltaic materials, done in collaboration between Semilab Zrt. and our Institute of Physics, is published in Advanced Energy & Sustainability Research. 

 

Novel, perovskite-based photovoltaic materials are expected to yield a new generation of solar cells with an increased efficiency, and harvesting a different part of the optical spectrum, compared to conventional silicon-based devices. One of the major research challenges in this field is to understand carrier lifetimes and the physical processes governing those. Scientists of BME Institute of Physics, in collaboration with Semilab Zrt. in Budapest in the framework of the Cooperative Doctoral Program, gained new insights along this research line. The study was published in June 2024 in the journal Advanced Energy & Sustainability Research, with open-access availability at this link.
