Scientists from TU Dresden, collaborating with researchers at Seoul National University (SNU) and Korea University (KU), have demonstrated the role of the re-use of photons ('photon recycling') and light scattering effects in perovskite solar cells, providing a pathway towards high-efficiency solar energy conversion.

The researchers from the Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) at the TU Dresden observed the role of the photon recycling effect. When a photon is radiated inside re-absorbing semiconductors like perovskites, it can be re-absorbed by the emitter itself and generate a new photon via photoluminescence. Such a process of recursively re-absorbing and re-emitting the photons is called photon recycling. While this phenomenon has been previously demonstrated by several research groups, its practical contribution to the efficiency of perovskite solar cells has been under extensive debate. Based on the devices prepared by the groups in SNU and KU, the IAPP researchers discovered that photon recycling and light scattering effects greatly improve the light emission efficiency by a factor of ~5, significantly improving the photovoltage of perovskite solar cells.

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a €1.5 million Starting Grant to Professor Michael Saliba from the University of Stuttgart to support his research on perovskite thin films, where he will work on using light to control uncontrolled film growth.

Professor Saliba heads the Institute for Photovoltaics (IPV) in the German university. He has secured the grant for his LOCAL-HEAT project (Controlled Local Heating to Crystallize Solution-based Semiconductors for Next-Generation Solar Cells and Optoelectronics). He believes his research will enable the development of highly efficient perovskite solar cells that maintain their stability over several decades.

Perovskite-Info is happy to announce the 2022 edition of The Perovskite Handbook. This book is a comprehensive guide to perovskite materials, applications and industry. Perovskites are an exciting class of materials that feature a myriad of exciting properties and are considered the future of solar cells, displays, sensors, LEDs and more. The handbook is now updated to January 2022 and lists recent developments and new companies, initiatives and research activities.

Reading this book, you'll learn all about:

• Different perovskite materials, their properties and structure

• What kinds of applications perovskites may be suitable for
• What the obstacles on the way to a perovskite revolution are
• Perovskite solar cells, their merits and challenges
• Perovskite QDs, LEDs, and other applications
• The state of the perovskite market, potential and future

The book also provides: a history of perovskite research, a guide to perovskite companies and developers, information on leading collaboration and development projects, a comprehensive list of perovskite companies, market updates and much more!

Researchers from China's Shaanxi Normal University and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have designed a perovskite solar cell with a novel defect passivation strategy based on the use of an ionic liquid (IL) perovskite capping layer.

ILs are non-molecular compounds that are composed solely of ions. They are said to possess several advantages over traditional organic solvents, such as negligible vapor pressure at room temperature and high thermal stability.

The Army Research Office and the Office of Naval Research have provided financial support for a new perovskite research, along with the National Science Foundation and the Energy Department's Office of Science. The researchers are a team of engineers working out of the lab of Aditya Mohite at Rice University.

The project was a collaborative one that also involved Purdue and Northwestern universities. The Energy Department was also involved via its Los Alamos, Argonne and Brookhaven laboratories. So were the Institute of Electronics and Digital Technologies in France, with additional support from the Academic Institute of France.

A team from Israel's Technion Institute of Technology has announced the development of self-healing perovskite nanocrystals.

Having to frequently replace electronics due to malfunctioning of materials is unavoidable today, since every device suffers from degradation as a result of defects that accumulate during use over time. This generates, in addition to customer frustration and costs, a heavy environmental footprint.
