Researchers affiliated with UNIST, the Korea Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) and Hanyang University have designed a cost-efficient method to produce inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs), with outstanding efficiency performance of 22.1% in small cells and 19.7% in 1-square-centimeter cells. A key feature of this technology is its ability to tackle the dominating defect in perovskite-halides, which is known to decrease the photoelectric efficiency. The team’s results demonstrate that careful control of the growth conditions of perovskite layers with management of deficient halide anions is essential for realizing high-efficiency thin-film PSCs based on lead-halide-perovskite absorbers. In this study, the … Continue reading Korean researchers design new method for highly efficient perovskite solar cells

Laboratory for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems (LEHMS) has guided under Distinguished Prof. Sang-Il Seok in Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology(UNIST). Since the evolving environmental and consuming energy resources are problems in human life, the number of  impassioned scientists in renewable energy field are struggled to find the environmentally friend energy harvesting materials for developments of new cost-effective devices. In LEHMS,  the main research topic is focused on the compositions of organic-inorganic hybrid, metal chalcogenide materials and their applications.  In particular, new materials are going to be utilizing to development of solar cell devices with advanced technologies. The various new functional … Continue reading Welcome to Laboratory for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems
