IT Home reported on August 10 that IT Home learned from a press release from Oxford University on August 9 that scientists from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford have developed a revolutionary method to coat a new type of power-generating material on silicon-based solar panels without the need for silicon-based solar panels.On everyday objects such as backpacks, cars and cell phones, more and more solar electricity can be generated.

For the first time, this new light-absorbing material is thick enough and flexible enough to be applied to the surface of almost any building or ordinary object.Stacking multiple light-absorbing layers into a solar cell, thereby utilizing a wider spectrum of light, allowing the same amount of sunlight to produce more energy.

It is reported that this ultra-thin and flexible film is made by stacking perovskite light-absorbing layers with a thickness of just over one micron.150 times thinner than traditional silicon wafers, 5% more energy efficient than traditional single-layer silicon photovoltaic panels。

Dr Shauifeng Hu, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford's Department of Physics, said he believed the approach could enable photovoltaic devices to achieve higher efficiencies, exceeding 45%.

This new approach to photovoltaic technology is also expected to reduce the cost of photovoltaics. Because it is thin and flexible, it can be applied to almost "any surface". The technology reduces construction and installation costs and is expected to increase the number of photovoltaic farms, thereby generating more sustainable energy.

It is important to note that this technology is still in the research stage, and the Oxford researchers did not mention the long-term stability of the newly designed perovskite panels. The researchers believe that their method will continue to reduce the cost of solar energy and make it aThe most sustainable form of renewable energyThe average cost of solar power generation has fallen by nearly 90% globally since 2010, making it nearly a third cheaper than electricity generated from fossil fuels.
