An international team of researchers (USA – Pennsylvania State University, Australia, Italy) has demonstrated that adding any nanomaterial to solar material boosts its efficiency because of the enhanced light scattering as confirmed by theoretical calculations. Adding the nanoparticles boosted the efficiency of perovskite solar cells by 1% in the study. Redistribution of the optical field and consequently a homogenization of the optical field can lead to a reduced photocarrier loss and provide a noticeable photocurrent enhancement (ca. 7%), which explains the general photocurrent improvement in solar cells with nanomaterials…read more.
