Researchers have developed a 2D quantum material that improves the efficiency of solar cells, exceeding the theoretical limits of traditional technology.
Researchers from Lehigh University have developed a material with the potential to increase the efficiency of solar panels drastically. But what makes it different?The research team debuted a prototype using a quantum material as the active layer in a solar cell. That material showed a photovoltaic absorption of 80% and external quantum efficiency of up to 190%.
In this new material, the intermediate band states enable the capture of photon energy lost by traditional solar cells. Despite EQE figures of up to 100%, traditional cells lose photon energy through reflection and heat.
