Lycopene has increased both the durability and efficiency of perovskite solar panels.
But after the tests, they found out that lycopene passivated the grain boundaries , improved crystallinity and transparency, and reduced the density of electron traps —which overall, enhanced the electrical flow in the solar panels, thus increasing their efficiency, too.
In April 2021, a team from the City University of Hong Kong added ferrocenes, an iron-based organometallic compound first prepared in 1951 at Duquesne University, to perovskite solar cells and boosted their efficiency to 25 percent while also passing the stability test set by the International Electrotechnical Commission.four-pin perovskite-silicon tandem device
