Clean energy goals require a geopolitical rethink, experts said at Andlinger meeting

a magnifying glass enlarges part of a perovskite solar cell — An emerging class of solar energy technology, made with perovskite semiconductors, has passed the long-sought milestone of a 30-year lifetime. The Princeton Engineering researchers who designed the new device also revealed a new method for testing long-term performance, a key hurdle on the road to commercialization. Photo by Bumper DeJesus

Once seen as fleeting, a new solar tech shines on and on

grayscale microscope image of ultra-thin material layers — Using materials known as perovskites, Princeton researchers helped develop ultra-thin material layers, only a few nanometers thick, shown above in vertically stacked sheets. One of these ultra-thin layers can cap a solar cell’s underlying absorption layers, protecting them from stress and moving electronic charge at rates that far outstrip previous designs. This innovation can dramatically improve perovskite solar cell durability. Image courtesy of the researchers

Ultra-thin design boosts durability of high-performance, low-cost solar cells
