Stable solar cell out of flourine
VATIS UPDATE Part
Article body
A group of scientists at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Republic of Korea, have developed highly stable and cheap solar cells made out of flourine. The team led by Kim Jin-young from UNIST developed the edged-selectively fluorine functionalized graphene nanoplatelets with structure of perovskite solar cells that can achieve a stability of 82%.
A perovskite solar cell is a type of cell which includes a perovskite structured compound, considered a next-generation technology with the potential of achieving even higher efficiency. However, low instability and high production costs have been cited as factors that block such technology from becoming commercially viable.
