Oxford University scientists have created an ultra-thin layer of material that can be applied to the exterior of objects with sunlight access in place of bulky silicon-based solar panels.
The new materials are 150 times thinner than a traditional silicon wafer and can produce 5 percent more energy efficiency than traditional, single-layer silicon photovoltaics.
This technology, however, is still in the research stage and the university doesn't mention the long-term stability of the newly designed perovskite panels.
