Solar cell manufacturing just became easier, more efficient, and less costly.
A team of researchers at DOEโs Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has discovered a unique material that can be used as a simpler approach to solar cell manufacturing, the team reported.
This material is a crystalline solar material with a built-in electric field โ also known as “ferroelectricity” โ that was reported earlier this year in the journal Science Advances.
