The semi-transparent solar cells made with the TTEs exhibited an average
power conversion efficiency as high as 13.3 %, reflecting 85.5 % of incoming infrared light.
For photovoltaics, Venkataraman points out, «The next thing is to make devices with other polymers coming along, to
increase power conversion efficiency and to make them on flexible substrates.
The paper PSCs were developed with a low - temperature Paper / Au / SnO2 / meso - TiO2 / CH3NH3PbI3 / Spiro - OMeTAD / MoOx / Au / MoOx architecture utilizing a Au / SnO2 and MoOx / Au / MoOx stack as electron - and hole - extracting electrodes respectively, delivering state of the
art power conversion efficiency of 2.7 % for solar cells prepared directly on the opaque paper substrate.
Both rigid and flexible based OSCs and PSCs shows improvement
in power conversion efficiency (PCE) owing to the absorption enhancement in photoactive layer cause by light trapping effect of MCA.
Planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on SSE - deposited CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite thin films
deliver power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 15.2 %, and most notably an average PCE of 10.1 % for PSCs with sub-100 nm semi-transparent perovskite thin films.
In the past couple of years, organic - inorganic hybrid perovskites have been solution - processed into thin films or bulk crystals for photovoltaic devices that have reached a 20 -
percent power conversion efficiency.
The team discovered that a form of perovskite, one of the newest materials in solar research due to its
high power conversion efficiency, works surprisingly well as a reversible photoactive semiconductor material that can be switched between a transparent state and a non-transparent state, without degrading its electronic properties.

The composite material leads to
a power conversion efficiency of up to 4.2 %, which is a record value for this class of materials.
Unger concludes: «They can lead to a coarse over or underestimation of
the power conversion efficiency.»

In the study, the platinum - based solar cell reached
a power conversion efficiency of 7.89 percent, which is considered standard.
The demonstration cell only had
a power conversion efficiency of 13.7 percent, but with further optimization, researchers expect to top 25 percent efficiency.
Photovoltaic (PV) cells manufactured on glass achieved the highest power outputs reported for a PV technology under typical 200 - 400 lx indoor LED illumination with maximum power densities of MPD = 41.6 µW / cm2 at 400 lx (and
power conversion efficiencies, PCE, of 27 %).
In their tests, adding the virus - built structures enhanced
the power conversion efficiency to 10.6 percent from 8 percent — almost a one - third improvement.
