Dyesol has announced that it has been awarded a grant of 2.5 miilion AUD (almost $2 million USD) under the Cooperative Research Centre Projects (CRC-P) programme. The grant, administered by the Australian Department of Industry, is for an 18 month project titled, "Large Area Perovskite Photovoltaic Material Coating on Glass Substrate" and complements Dyesol's Major Area Demonstration (MAD) prototype development activities.

Dyesol will lead the project and other partners are CSR Building Products, and its subsidiary, CSR Viridian, and CSIRO. This activity aims to advance the goal of commercializing Perovskite Solar Cell (PSC) photovoltaic technology on glass substrates.

Researchers from Finland have shown that the perovskite KBNNO is able to turn sunlight, heat and movement into electricity - which could be useful for many energy sources and electronics, providing that work to make it more efficient is successful.

Various other minerals in the perovskite family have previously shown promise for generating different types of energy, but never at the same time like KBNNO. In this study, the researchers from the University of Oulu ran experiments using KBNNO that showed it was reasonably good at generating electricity from pressure and heat – but not as good as other perovskites. However, they showed KBNNO could be modified to amplify these properties.
