According to a report from pv magazine, an international research team has achieved a power conversion efficiency exceeding 30% for a triple-junction solar cell. The cell combines two thin-film perovskite cells and one silicon cell in a single device.
The scientists involved, from the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, state the result is a world record for this specific cell technology. It surpasses a prior record of 27.06% set by a different research group. The report did not specify if the new result has been independently verified.
The researchers addressed two key challenges: low voltage in the top perovskite layer and limited current in the middle layer. They implemented three modifications to the device’s materials and optical design to overcome these issues.
First, a molecule was introduced to guide perovskite crystal growth and passivate defects, allowing the top cell to reach specific voltages under sunlight. Second, a novel three-step fabrication process was developed for the middle cell to improve its absorption of near-infrared light. Finally, silicon oxide nanoparticles were placed between the silicon bottom cell and the middle perovskite layer to reflect additional sunlight back into the middle cell, increasing its current.
The lead researcher noted that with clever design, the performance approaches levels traditionally seen in far more expensive multi-junction cells used in space applications. The head of the involved photovoltaics laboratory highlighted that the achievement marks significant progress from a prior demonstration in 2018, which had a lower efficiency. The laboratory head also stated that triple-junction solar cells possess an efficiency potential well above 40%.
The new cell device was detailed in a recently published study. The research team also included academics from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and Australia’s University of Queensland.
