< P > Researchers at Surrey University (United Kingdom) have found that aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al₂o₃) significantly increase the life and stability of solar panels based on Perovskit. This is stated on the official site of Surrey University.
< P > Perovskit solar elements are considered economically advantageous and light alternative traditional silicon technology. However, their use is limited due to the lack of structure caused primarily by the leakage of iodine. Subsequently, this iodine leak leads to material degradation, a decrease in productivity and durability.< p >Previously, researchers from the United States were able to stabilize perovskit solar elements by introducing titanium. For their part, scientists from Surrey University have discovered a way to capture iodine by introducing al₂o₃'s tiny particles into the cell. Researchers believe this technology will allow you to create more durable and affordable solar panels next generation.
< p > “Ten years ago, the idea of perovskite solar cells that could work so long in real conditions seemed unattainable”, & mdash; noted the postgraduate student Hashina Pepra.
< P > During the study, scientists protested modified solar elements in extreme heat and humidity. The results showed that solar elements with AL₂O₃ nanoparticles maintained high performance for more than two months (1530 hours). This is ten longer than showed samples without aluminum oxide.< P > Further analysis showed that the Nanoparticles AL₂O₃ contributed to the formation of a homogeneous structure of perovskitis, reducing defects and improving electrical conductivity. They also formed a protective two -dimensional layer of perovskit, which acted as an additional barrier against degradation under the influence of moisture.
< p > “solving these common problems that we face when using perovskit solar technologies, our study opens the door for cheaper, more efficient and more accessible solar energy”, & mdash; emphasized Dr. Imalka Javarden.
