Researchers at Princeton University have developed a technique in which nanoscale perovskite particles self-assemble to produce more efficient, stable and durable perovskite-based LEDs. This advance could speed the use of perovskite technologies in commercial applications such as lighting, lasers and television and computer screens.

The team explains that this technique allows nanoparticles of perovskite to self-assemble to create ultra-fine grained films, an advance in fabrication that could make perovskite LEDs a viable possibility.

Solar-Tectic announced that a patent application for a germanium-perovskite thin film tandem solar cell has been allowed by the US Patent and Trademark Office.

This type of crystalline thin-film germanium solar cells promise to be more efficient and less expensive than silicon and germanium wafer technology due to low temperature processing and less material use.
