Summary:
The perovskite solar cell that has been based on metal-organic framework hit a 22.02% solar cell efficiency.
Main Article:
Scientists from the City University of Hong Kong have developed a perovskite solar cell based on a 2D conjugated metal-organic framework which functions as an electron-extraction layer at the interface between perovskite and cathode.
The researchers claim their device is the first perovskite solar cell to offer good long-term stability and high power conversion solar cell efficiency at the same time and they state it also offers reduced lead leakage.
The City University group said metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been used previously in perovskite research, but with the focus on using them to passivate defects in the perovskites themselves.
The Hong Kong group replaced three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks – which are susceptible to low charge-carrier mobility – with a two-dimensional structure equipped with thiol groups as a key functionality. Those groups consist of a sulfur atom with two lone pairs, bonded to hydrogen, with such structures used as interfacial modifiers to enhance the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells.
Commenting on the thiol groups, the City University team said: “They possess suitable energy levels, enabling them to be an electron-extraction layer where electrons are finally collected by the electrode of the perovskite solar cells. Our molecular-engineered MOFs possess the property of a multi-functional semiconductor and can be used to enhance the charge extraction efficiency.”
The City University showed a solar cell efficiency of 22.02%, a fill factor of 81.28% and open-circuit voltage of 1.2 V. “Both the conversion efficiency and the open-circuit voltage recorded are among the highest values reported for the planar-inverted perovskite solar cells,” said the academics.
The device is also said to retain more than 90% of its initial solar cell efficiency under accelerated testing conditions at maximum power point tracking for 1,000h at 85 degrees Celsius.
The scientists said their solar cell also suffered less lead leakage than other perovskite solar panels. “Our experiments showed that the MOF used as the outer layer of the PVSC [perovskite solar cell] device captured over 80% of the leaked lead ions from the degraded perovskite and formed water-insoluble complexes which would not contaminate the soil,” said research co-author Alex Jen Kwan-yue.

One months ago, I thought I was making a sound investment in a sustainable fashion startup in Paris, putting in EUR 50,000. As someone who values sustainability and innovation, this opportunity felt like a perfect match. The startup, which promised to revolutionize the fashion industry with eco-friendly materials and ethical production methods, had an impressive pitch. Their website showcased professional designs, CONTACT INFO: Folkwinexpertrecovery@tech-center.com
I discovered that my Bitcoin was now worth $1,780,000. Elated, I tried to access my wallet, but I couldn’t remember the decryption key. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. Feeling defeated, the internet was my last bus stop. I came in contact with some freelancers and hackers for hire, I was scammed during this till I came in contact with Cyber Genie Hack Pro, a team of professionals with long years of victories in Bitcoin Recovery. That motivated me to mail them on ( Cybergenie (@) Cyberservices (.) Com ) and the rest is history. Telegram - CyberGenieHackPro https://cyber-genie-hackpro.info/
I made an initial investment of roughly $380,000 on a Coastal Trading Options. After several transactions, I chose to withdraw my money because according to the website I had made a lot of profits, however the withdrawal was unsuccessful. I made several attempts in contacting them but it all failed. I made every effort and filed a report to recover my money by contacting the police department in charge of investigating fraudulent situations, but nothing was successful. Since my attempt with the police failed, I tried other possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I reached out to a hacker whose reviews I had read online; Recovery Nerds, I contacted him via his email on: mailus @ recoverynerds . com, Website: https: // recoverynerds . com/ Whatsapp: +15143122803 He came in handy and at the right time. He rescued me from these shady investment schemes with the help of their top-notch services. I got my funds back as well as my peace of mind.
I lost over $200,000 to scammers while I was trying to invest, as if that wasn’t enough, I lost another $17000 in bitcoin while I was trying to get the scammer and also get my money back, not until I saw an article online that directed to a firm, even though I was doubting I gave them a try, and I was able to get back a reasonable amount of money from this scammer and even their website was taken down and the scammer brought to justice. If you need help, I mean serious help. Contact this guys. fastfundrecovery8 @ gmail com ,WharsApp +1 (903)717-6241 I’m sure THEY CAN HELP.
