Halocell Energy partners with AIBN to advance tin-based perovskite solar panels
The University of Queensland (UQ) and Halocell Energy have announced they will be working together to advance tin-based perovskite solar panels.
UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) researcher Dr. Peng Chen has secured almost $200,000 through the latest Australia’s Economic Accelerator Ignite funding round to accelerate the commercial production of tin-based perovskite solar panels. Dr. Chen and his team - including UQ’s Professor Lianzhou Wang and AIBN’s Dr Dongxu He – have replaced the lead with tin, recently setting a world-record efficiency for lead-free perovskite solar cells. Now, Halocell Energy and UQ have decided to take the project to the next phase and scale up for real world use in lead-free solar panels.
