Created by the solar battery of new generation

 

 

The whole secret lies in the fact that the basis of solar batteries instead of lead perovskite contains tin.

"This is a breakthrough in the manufacture of advanced types of solar panels. Tin is a very viable material, and we have created materials based on it working as efficient solar cell," says the study's author and specialist in inorganic chemistry at northwestern University Mercouri G. Kanatzidis.

When using lead-free conversion efficiency of solar energy to electricity is about 15 percent. The researchers said that the efficiency of batteries based on tin eventually significantly exceeds the efficiency of the battery is lead-based.

They consider their achievement a new milestone in the development of solar energy technologies. At the same time achieving increased efficiency enables lower costs for manufacturing of new solar panels and maintain their environmental friendliness.

"Solar energy is free and is the only energy that is inexhaustible. If we know how to collect this energy efficient way we can raise our standard of living and help preserve the environment," added Kanatzidis.
