Solar Cell
PSC research focuses on the development and performance improvement of solar cells based on perovskite materials, a class of semiconductors with a unique crystal structure and high efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity.
What is Perovskite?
“Perovskite” refers to a crystal structure with the general formula ABX₃, where:
- A = organic cation (e.g., methylammonium (MA⁺), formamidinium (FA⁺))
- B = metal (e.g., Pb²⁺, Sn²⁺)
- X = halide anion (e.g., I⁻, Br⁻, Cl⁻)
Main Goals of PSC Research
- Improve power conversion efficiency (PCE)
- Enhance long-term stability against moisture, heat, and light
- Reduce toxicity by replacing Pb with non-toxic alternatives
- Lower production costs to compete with silicon
