Brazilian researchers have developed a method to enhance the efficiency and durability of perovskite solar cells by incorporating MXenes into the cells’ structure. This advancement, documented in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C, promises significant improvements in solar cell technology, with potential impacts on industrial production and sustainability efforts.
Developed by researchers at São Paulo State University in Bauru, Brazil, the method involves the use of a class of materials known as MXenes, a family of two-dimensional materials with a-like structure combining transition metals, carbon and/or nitrogen, and surface functional groups such as fluoride, oxygen or hydroxyl. Their properties include high electrical conductivity, good thermal stability, and high transmittance .
Research on perovskite solar cells is currently focusing on how to devise large-scale industrial production systems to make stable high-performance cells. “The article shows that the addition of the MXene can be feasible under mass production conditions, and points to a way of achieving this.
