According to a report from pv magazine, the Silicon and New Concepts for Solar Cells group at the Polytechnic University of Madrid‘s Institute of Solar Energy has created high-efficiency solar cell prototypes using two-dimensional materials. These materials are considered effectively without a third dimension due to their thinness but can still absorb significant light.
The researchers employed a method known as the hot-pick-up technique. This process involves selecting, collecting, and depositing material fragments inside a transparent bubble to form structures tailored for research. The technique’s versatility allowed the team to experiment with combining different materials to achieve optimal solar energy absorption.
Work is also underway on techniques to scale production by depositing the two-dimensional materials from a solution onto large surfaces. The research group stated that using spraying and deposition methods for these solutions could enable scaled-up production processes. They indicated this scaling would lower costs and facilitate the technology’s industrialization.
In a simulation modeling the application of semi-transparent cells to a skyscraper in Madrid, the team calculated the cells could potentially generate up to 30 percent of the building’s energy requirements while still allowing sufficient natural light into office interiors. The researchers noted the cells’ lightness, flexibility, and low production cost position them as a highly promising option for integrating solar technology into buildings.
The research was financed by several grants, including the MAD2DCM-UPM project supported by the Community of Madrid and the European Union, the 4EVERPV-CM grant from the Community of Madrid, the COMIC and PVBooster grants from the Ministry of Science and Innovation, and the APE2SOL award from the Naturgy Foundation.
