Researchers at the University of Surrey have made a breakthrough that could extend the lifespan of perovskite solar cells by ten times, bringing them closer to widespread adoption.

PSCs offer high efficiency and lower production costs than silicon-based photovoltaics, but they suffer from a fundamental flaw: degradation caused by iodine leakage.

AlO nanoparticles can trap iodine and prevent it from escaping.

With continued research and investment, perovskite solar technology could soon power homes, businesses, and cities on a global scale, offering a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
