"Australian solar researchers have discovered that adding graphene to
perovskite solar cells can improve efficiency to 30.6 per cent and cut the need
for expensive gold and silver conductors.
The finding was part of manufacturing research between perovskite cell company
Halocell Energy and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), set up in
2023 to make the technology commercial.
The latest finding suggests that adding a layer of graphene, a very light,
highly conductive material made from graphite, to perovskite solar cells can be
easily done using to roll-to-roll dispersion technology, a manufacturing method
used to add extra layers to flexible substrates such as solar panels.
Halocell said the addition almost doubled the efficiency of the cell.
The addition of graphene means Halocell now has a “suite” of low cost materials
for different solar applications, says Halocell Energy CEO Paul Moonie.
“This material will be included in sales of our Ambient PV range already
available for purchase as well as our drone and satellite PV modules,” he said
in a statement."
