Scientists from the National University of Science and Technology “MISiS” (NUST MISIS) in cooperation with their Italian colleagues have proposed a new type of.
The research team of NUST MISIS has presented an improved structure of perovskite solar cells. Scientists have modified perovskite-based solar cells using MXenes thin two-dimensional titanium carbides with high electrical conductivity. The MXenes-based modified cells showed superior performance, with power conversion efficiency exceeding 19% (the reference demonstrated 17%) and improved stabilized power output with respect to reference devices. The results have been published in the Nano energy international scientific journal.
Perovskite solar cells are promising alternative energy technology worldwide. They can be printed on special inkjet or slot die printers with minimal quantity of vacuum processes. This reduces the cost of the device compared to traditional silicon solar cell technology.
