Moses the video and audio production by d w. I hope video will tune in this tiny solar cell might be about to revolutionize solar energy as we know it. Its more efficient than a spend, thats silicon solar cell. It can be easily synthesized and doesnt need to be mind like silica, as it can work on in film. So you probably as not how speak up, but it also it can go on your roof. Say hi to this crystal struct. Chuckhorn is pearl skies. It promises improvements to solar cells that are almost too good to be true. Thats why were using solar cells. Well, for scott, so the us for us kind of looked like the term for off good is a very generic term for a specific crystal structure, right . You can see that here over there. So the crystal structure has the 80 x 3 formula. And like its component is the sort and i the element for molecule. One of the most common combinations in this structure is methyl ammonium as the a on the corners. The metal lots for be in the center and the chloride or iodide as the ex, which foam around the metal. But theres quite a vast range of materials that can be used and combined. And its quite wild how easily these can be put together. Oh, this is 11 fine and but before we do that, security 1st as we are going to up with toxic flat with one of these. All right, its good to go look a bit like i mentioned that in okay, time to get an hour based materials. Matthew mixes methyl ammonium, chloride, and let i o die too late to create a abs for a crystal structure. By the way, everything happens in these boxes so that no water or oxygen comes in contact with our precious pulse kite. So what is now the advantage of these materials compared to silicon . So i believe that one of the main advantages of prostate or silicon as material is the ease of processing. So silicon is something that is relatively Energy Intensive to fabricate. But this is something that can be done at post to room temperature, so it doesnt require much energy. So its easy to do. Everything is relatively abundant. And so, um it, its, it shouldnt be bottlenecked for production. So these base materials are more abundant then silicon ends are easier to process. Now we have the base materials, but how do we make a sign up so being peril skype out of it. So i deposit those, losing a prostate and then it spends up quite fast. So something like, uh, 4000 revolutions for permanent. And then i dropped on the following solution. And that drives the, the crystallization. The method that matthew is using his cold spin coating, but perhaps kind soto sales can also be directly printed onto surfaces using similar processes to those useful printing newspapers. Another method is yvette parades and perhaps guides onto surfaces. Spin coatings usually takes place in the Lab Environment and it can be tedious. Matthew accidentally dropped the glass, not a big problem in the Lab Environment, but for commercial production, this is not viable. Matthew gives it a 2nd try and this time everything works. After the spin coating it goes onto a heating plate and the darkening shows us that the crystals are being formed. It works the same way as when sold water evaporates and you start to see the salt. There are sales like this one here, which are only made out of rough guide, but in many cases theres a silicon layout beneath the of the sales i quote 10 themselves and look like this. Right now they are the most promising candidates when it comes to increasing the efficiency of solar sales. But at some point, it might be possible to a balance that it can completely test that 10 themselves efficiency. The research was at hand, hard sent home, use a some simulator. It determines exactly how much sunlight is converted into electricity. What kind of efficiency that we just measured . So when we measure almost 30 percent, quite nice achievement. Why does it tend them . So a cell reach that much more efficiency than single jacksonville. So sometimes a lot samples may much more use of the incoming lights, so we have a long so long spectrum, this all sounds they channel the spectrum, the parent sky. So also in this case makes use of the visible wavelength. So everything which we can see by i, its been converted into pay arrows got installed on sale into electrical energy. Whereas the infrared light passes through the peril sikesdale and hes been converted into silicon salsa which is quite deficient in converting infrared light. So the share of the spectrum in each cell is very efficient. And the reason it doesnt sound like that much, but i just tells me this way, roughly 50 percent more. Some lights can be converted into electrical energy. So more overall sunlight can be a saw con by any of these tendons. So yeah, because before they go into serious reduction, normal stuff that needs to be a major issue is the stability of peril. Scott structures using 10 themselves. Theyre also got structures easily put together at low temperatures as we saw earlier, but they also come apart easily. Even the charges that tremble through the pearl scott in the cell, the cell can create defects and destroy the power of god. Structures. Also, external effect does like moisture heat, oxygen, and u. V. Light can break it down further and quickly decrease its record breaking efficiency. This whole process is called degradation, which researches and companies are trying to fight with different forms of m calculation. Its use of the solar modules from accidental influences and is an essential spent for commercialization to sales, which is part of a do a p and academia and Industry Partnership plans to develop commercial sized modules with an efficiency of 26 percent of a lifetime of 30 years, a box for tv, a Company Founded by Oxford University graduates, has reached an efficiency of 28. 6 percent and supposedly sold the degradation issue already. But both companies havent published verifiable data yet. That also isnt even a lot of research on real world outdoor tests. These are a lot of, so lets say that you test it. Wow. This is colleen, liberty, c, overseas. The degradation tests of 10 themselves at him. Whats the temple at what kind of stability is we currently looking at here . Sometimes to fail after a few days over. Sometimes they last for years. Literally team measured a loss of 20 percent and efficiency and just half a year. Other researches in saudi arabia, for example, came up with similar results for comparison, it takes silicon so the sales roughly 20 years to reach that level of degradation. A number that tend themselves out would need to match some Companies Say theyve already fix this issue and ready to go to market next. Yeah. Do you believe thats possible . Sometimes here we must also have conferences, but they normally dont show the data. Its all very secret. I assume that david and the next years produce samples, and that is very important to do because then you can test them on your own sites in the p to fuse. And before you commercialize them, before you save them to customers who contest inside. Whether its really true, because its really hard to say about the samples that we have out here of the one year that theyre going to last for 25 years. And until now weve only talked about the technical side of things, but tell them, so lets have another thing coming. If have about skype is going to go anywhere, it will need to be cheaper then press to then or can i request that i set it on a pad well basis. This is jenny chase. Hes analyzed the solar market for 18 years and found that the solar Analysis Team at blue book. And yes, lets go to be the one of course po, up which is coming. The 12. 00 us of the people and it will be 12 by next year. According to the International Renewable energy agency. Since 2010 costs for electricity from solar have declined, but 89 percent globally. Its now more expensive to install silicon panels than it is to make them meaning the limiting factor for solar on manufacturing costs, but grid connection land permits, all label for installation. It really comes down to the company that sells. The cost of dependency factor matters. Just to get these into stable volume production will make a lot of money. If nobody does, then solar will still get billed. One company that claims it has sold the degradation issue is ox for tv. It says together with partners, it can see about modules in the middle of 2024, and that well have utility scale sort of past was 10 themselves in 2026 or 2027. Looking at today is the efficiency number. So approx like that will generate 25 percent more energy then comparable, so they can sell the parks, solar panels, those have a good rates potential, but theres still a lot of things that need to fall into place for them to work. And im really, really curious if theyre actually going to be on the market next year on reading. How did you like the video, please let me know in the comments and subtract or tell me what we post the videos on the environment every friday. The into the conflicts own with Tim Sebastian president ial elections in russia of the usual full gun conclusion with nothing left to chop. Not even the best in jail of the leading opposition figure. Ill explain about me. My guess is the russian commentary the andre collect. Recall tony, he, russian and your agent center in moscow was the valley such as serious . Correct . Do you have to be to come fix the next on d, w, the one youre interested in. Todays my parents because of my family. What cute. How was this age and im on a journey to find out about the result of 19 or 2 doing the same constituents seeking rhonda, my name is some way to ship me here. Im assuming lead shaming History Documentary stuffs, april 6th on t w. The president ial elections in russia of the usual full gun conclusion, with nothing left to charles, not even the desk in jail as the leading opposition figure. Ill explain about me, whose name postern couldnt bring himself to speak. My guest is the russian commentary to andre kalashnikov. To head to foot kindly, he rush, are you ready just sent that in moscow wasnt valid the such a serious threat to put in his regime because he had to be killed even to be in prison when it was a threat to pretend that competitor maybe invisible in an information field about the same time quite my team and what
