The Future of Solar: UNSW's Record-Breaking Cell Achieves Unmatched Stability

University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers have demonstrated a perovskite solar cell submodule with a 23.5 per cent efficiency rating, a world record for the specific technology configuration. This performance was achieved on a 30 by 30 centimetre device without additional output-boosting layers, narrowly exceeding a record set by a Chinese team using an iron compound. The advancement stems from a structural change in the cell's architecture: the removal of a nickel oxide layer and the int
