New Materials for Solar Cells

Abstract

Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) intend to develop a fundamentally new solar cell concept in the project “Innovative liquid-applied ceramic solar cells” (KeraSolar). They combine research on photovoltaics with ceramic functional materials in order to bundle the advantages of different solar cell technologies: The printability of organic solar cells and the long-term stability of crystalline solar cells as well as the ferroelectricity of the lead halide perovskite.
