This study demonstrates, for the first time, the successful integration of cyanate into a perovskite solar cell to develop a cutting-edge triple-junction perovskite/Si tandem solar cell,proving cyanates to be viable substitute for halides in perovskite-based solar cells. An efficiency of 27.1 percent was achieved.
“Shatter” is a bit much considering that these are around 27% efficient and contemporary commercial panels are around 25%, and other researchers have been able to get into the mid 30s.
That said, the devil is in the details. How easy are these to reproduce and manufacture? If they’re easy and cheap to make, and we can get residential solar up from the 17-22% range that it’s at now, then that’s pretty rad.
