New perspective article defining a practical goal for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells: 37.8%

December 17, 2024

A new study published in ACS Energy Letters establishes a practical power conversion efficiency (PCE) target of 37.8% for monolithic two-terminal (2T) perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. Dr. Erkan Aydin, the principal investigator of the Aydin Group at LMU Munich, contributed to this research, offering insights into how mixed-halide perovskites can achieve this ambitious goal.

The study highlights the importance of enhancing the radiative efficiency of perovskite top cells through advanced bulk and surface passivation techniques. Dr. Aydin believes this target is within reach, reflecting the promising developments in tandem solar cell research.
