Research fellows from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed high-flexibility monocrystalline silicon solar cells to serve China's low-carbon development in a better way. (CGTN)
Prof. XU Jinbao's team from Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a facile single-solution fabrication approach to grow large-scale CH3NH3PbBr3 hybrid perovskite single crystal at room temperature.
Qingwen Li from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Suzhou and colleagues wanted to exploit a new type of solar cell made of a mineral called perovskite. Flat versions of these cells are able to convert 20 per cent of the energy in sunlight into electricity. They can also be made 400 times thinner than conventional silicon cells – so thin that they are bendy.
