‘Self-healing’ solar cells could become reality

Professor Udo Bach from Monash Engineering, along with researchers from the University of Oxford and the City University of Hong Kong, has co-authored a study on 'self-healing' solar cells. This breakthrough could lead to more reliable and efficient perovskite solar cells, which are crucial for the global transition to sustainable energy. The study, published in Nature, introduces a novel strategy to enhance the stability and performance of perovskite solar cells through a 'self-healing' mechanism.

This innovation addresses critical issues related to defect passivation in perovskites, resulting in solar cells with 25.1% power conversion efficiency and remarkable stability under accelerated ageing tests.
