Quantum material achieves up to 190% efficiency in solar cells

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 17, 2024

Researchers from Lehigh University have developed a material that significantly enhances the efficiency of solar panels. A prototype incorporating this material as the active layer in a solar cell displays an average photovoltaic absorption rate of 80%, a high rate of photoexcited carrier generation, and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaching up to 190%. This figure surpasses the th
