Scientists from RIKEN and the University of Tokyo have developed a new type of ultra-thin photovoltaic device, coated on both sides with stretchable and waterproof films, which can continue to provide electricity from sunlight even after being soaked in water or being stretched and compressed.
power-to-weight ratio (specific power) of solar cells,26 this work focuses on the encapsulation properties of T-SiO 2. Due to the permanent water barrier and high optical transparency of T-SiO 2, the performance of the solar cells is retained even after fabricated solar cells are soaked in deionized (DI) water at 70 °C for 10 days. The

The solar energy can be harvested in different ways to produce energy, like the conversion of the sun light into electricity or using this light for splitting water to produce green hydrogen [4, 5]. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), also known as Grätzel cells, were demonstrated in 1991 as a favourable low-cost solution to silicon solar cells.
Semi-transparent and self-encapsulated perovskite solar cells have been fabricated. Simply laminating front sub-cell and back sub-cell makes it water-soak stable. The
1 Introduction. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown a promising stance in providing solar energy with records of 26.1% power conversion efficiency (PCE). [] The attained lab-scale PCE of the PSCs are comparable to the performance of the currently commercialized silicon solar cells, hence proving it to have great potential in driving the future of the solar

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) composed of organic polymer-based hole-transporting materials (HTMs) are considered to be an important strategy in improving the device performance, to compete with conventional solar cells. Yet the use of such expensive and unstable HTMs, together with hygroscopic perovskite structure remains a concern – an
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted wide publicity via their excellent photoelectric properties. Nevertheless, the relative low formation energy and soft lattice of perovskite make it vulnerable to external environmental factors, especially the moisture. Inevitably, water molecules would remain in PSCs modules during practical

Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have developed an organic photovoltaic film that is both waterproof and flexible, allowing a solar cell to be put onto clothes and still function correctly after being rained on or even washed.
Semi-transparent and self-encapsulated perovskite solar cells have been fabricated. Simply laminating front sub-cell and back sub-cell makes it water-soak stable. The approach is solution-processible, especially of metal-free electrode.
The water stability is positively correlated with Span 20 concentration (within 100 mg/ml), and the perovskite films appearances (50–100 mg/ml) are still black after soaking in water for 360 min (Fig. 6, Attached Video). With the increase of soaking time, the films changes from black to light yellow, and finally become transparent white.
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted wide publicity via their excellent photoelectric properties. Nevertheless, the relative low formation energy and soft lattice of perovskite make it vulnerable to external environmental factors, especially the moisture. Inevitably, water molecules would remain in PSCs modules during practical production.
The perovskite films are still black after soaking in water for 360 min, as the hydrophobic alkyl chains of Span 20 molecules isolate the contact between water and perovskite. The perovskite films morphology, crystallinity, photoelectric properties and decomposition processes are also improved by Span 20 passivation.
