Monolithic bifacial perovskite-CdSeTe tandem thin film solar cells for harvesting light from the environment
Project #D2021-04Invention DescriptionThe University of Toledo has developed a new tandem solar cell design — the bifacial tandem (Fig. 1) that enabled the first realization of a working monolithic tandem solar cell comprising wide-bandgap metal halide perovskite and narrow-bandgap cadmium selenide telluride (CdSeTe, or CST). The bifacial strategy...
