From Everything Electric Show.
This episode dives into the cutting-edge world of Oxford PV, where the team is revolutionizing solar technology with perovskite silicon solar cells. Imogen uncovers how this remarkable material is helping Oxford PV break all previous efficiency records, explores what makes a material ideal for solar cells, and explains why silicon alone has reached its limit. She also digs into the complex journey of perovskite’s development and why it’s taken so long to unlock its potential in solar energy. Enjoy!
