6 FAQs about Cadmium telluride and perovskite photovoltaic glass

Can perovskite and cadmium telluride be used in tandem solar cells?

An integration of perovskite and cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells in a tandem configuration has the potential to yield efficient thin-film tandem solar cells. Owing to the promise of higher eff...

What is a perovskite-cdsete tandem solar cell?

A perovskite–CdSeTe tandem solar cell could be fabricated with a wide-bandgap perovskite top cell and the CdSeTe as the bottom cell in either a two-terminal (2-T) or a four-terminal (4-T) arrangement.

Can metal halide perovskites be used for tandem solar cells?

The benefit of a wide range of bandgap tunability available to metal halide perovskites makes them an excellent option for developing tandem solar cells with a narrower bandgap partner, such as silicon, [4 - 8] cadmium telluride (CdTe), [9, 10] copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), [5, 11 - 13] another perovskite, [14 - 16] and organic materials.

Could a four-terminal solar cell be based on a perovskite absorber?

A research group at the University of Toledo in the United States has designed a four-terminal (4T) tandem solar cell with a top device relying on a perovskite absorber with a tunable wide-bandgap and a bottom cell using a commercially established narrow-bandgap absorber technology made of cadmium telluride (CdTe).

How efficient are CdTe/perovskite tandem solar cells?

Here, we developed four-terminal (4-T) CdTe/perovskite tandem solar cells, starting with 18.3% efficient near-infrared-transparent perovskite solar cells (NIR-TPSCs) with an average transmission (Tavg) of 24.76% in the 300–900 nm wavelength range.

Can 4T perovskite-cdsete tandem configuration improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells?

“The result proves the concept that 4T perovskite–CdSeTe tandem configuration can be used to improve the efficiency of commercial CdSeTe thin-film solar cells,” the researchers stated, adding they are currently outlining a roadmap to increase the device's efficiency to 30%.
