Perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells are a key PV technology. A team led by @solarerkan has now made a decisive advance in this approach. With specifically designed molecular contacts, an efficiency of 31.4 percent can now be achieved. #solarcells #lmu https://t.co/R4DKYviTsD

Perovskite/Si tandem solar cells hold immense promise. As a community, we address scaling and stability challenges, but efficiency remains a key focus. From our perspective, 37.8% efficiency seems like an achievable goal.

📢 Paper alert! 2T perovskite/Si tandems are advancing rapidly🎯We've defined a practical PCE target of 37.8%, grounded in metrics from cutting-edge Si and perovskite cells. Dive in and explore the path to higher efficiency!🌞

Today, we hosted Dr. Kassio Zanoni from @UV_EG, who delivered an insightful lecture in our Colloquium on advanced vacuum deposition techniques for #PerovskiteSolarCells. The key takeaway: vacuum deposition techniques are a promising route for advancing perovskite technologies.

Raising the bar for breakdown ¦ Erkan Aydin @solarerkan discusses two studies presenting approaches to increase the tolerance against this reverse bias degradation of #perovskite #SolarCells. https://t.co/XUqiWu0XTJ

[Erkan Aydın @solarerkan]

Had the pleasure of previewing work on reverse bias degradation in #perovskite solar cells for @NatureEnergyJnl. Two independent US-based collaborative teams developed a mitigation strategy for the cathode & anode sides! Worth the check it #perovskite PVs! https://t.co/5kKz5J4Qki

[Erkan Aydın @solarerkan]

Had the pleasure of collaborating with Monica's team on this exciting work! Pulsed laser deposited perovskites show great promise among single-source deposition techniques for various optoelectronic devices, including solar cells.

[Monica Morales-Masis @MMoralesMasis]

Just out in @Joule_CP. Our work on efficient p-i-n #solar #cells with #passivated #PLD-grown #halide #perovskites. 🎉 Very proud of this #team work and great international #collaboration. Check it out!

Huge success for LMU: In the renowned Shanghai Ranking #ARWU Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) is the best German university. The Shanghai Ranking shows LMU rising a whole 16 places up the ranking list since last year and is now in 43rd place worldwide. 🏆

[Erkan Aydın @solarerkan]

Had a great visit to IPV! Discussed tandem photovoltaics and connected with fellow PV enthusiasts. IPV, a historically significant hub for PV research in Germany (c-Si, CIGS, a-Si), is evolving to a new shape under Michael Saliba's leadership.

☀️Monday #ipv_kolloqium by Dr. Erkan Aydin @solarerkan from @LMU_Muenchen & @KAUST_KPVLab presenting record efficiency results on 33.7% #perovskite_tandem #solarcells⚡️💡Impressive #outdoor_stability data & Heat/damp tests🔥💧Great to see encapsulation & scaling efforts🏭🔦

[Esma Ugur @esmaugura]

🚨 paper alert 🚨
In our latest research online @ScienceMagazine, we explored the importance of the perovskite absorber phase stability, and discussed how to achieve an independently certified PCE of 33.7% perovskite/silicon tandems. For details 👉🏻👉🏻 https://t.co/Pn2PH2AzMb

[Erkan Aydın @solarerkan]

In our previous reports, we focused on the interfaces of #perovskite subcells in #tandem structures. Now, with this work, we explore how our additive approach enhances the stability of perovskite films. For more details, you can read the article for free using the link above.

[Erkan Aydın @solarerkan]

For those with a keen interest in high-efficiency (with enhanced stability) perovskite-silicon tandem cells, our recent article in Science Magazine details our record efficiencies of 33.2% and 33.7% reported last year.
