Efficiency Under Different Lighting Conditions
- High-Bandgap Perovskites for LED Lighting: High-bandgap perovskite solar cells are particularly efficient under LED lighting due to their ability to efficiently absorb the spectrum emitted by LEDs. These cells are optimized for indoor applications where LED lighting is common.
- Efficiency Levels Under Indoor Lighting: Recent advances have resulted in indoor power conversion efficiencies above 40%, such as a 42% efficiency achieved by Taiwanese researchers under 3000 K LED illumination at 1000 lux. Another study reported a 35.99% efficiency under cool-white LED at 1000 lux.
- Comparison Across Lighting Types: While LEDs are a focus, standard incandescent or fluorescent lighting might not provide the same efficiency due to spectral differences. High-bandgap perovskites, however, are well-suited for the spectral output of common indoor lighting sources.
Factors Influencing Efficiency
- Spectral Matching: The efficiency is enhanced when the lighting spectrum closely matches the absorption spectrum of the perovskite material.
- Interfacial Passivation: Optimizing the interfaces between layers in the solar cell is crucial for improving efficiency by reducing defects and enhancing carrier transport.
- Material Properties: The use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and solvent engineering strategies can further improve the performance by enhancing optoelectronic properties and reducing defects.
Overall, perovskite solar cells show promising potential for indoor energy harvesting, especially with LEDs, and are being optimized for more efficient operation under various lighting conditions.
