In short, research needs to focus on converting what’s happening in the labs into real-world devices. But the possibility of producing hundreds of thousands of square metres of flexible perovskite solar cells is now a step closer.

Self-healing solar cells pave the way to a reliable solar future:

Perovskites promises solar panels that are more efficient, cheaper and easier to make, lightweight and perhaps even flexible.
The barrier to perovskite photovoltaics scaling up and being adopted has been that they can degrade under humidity and heat.

But now, researchers from Monash University have developed perovskite solar cells that can heal themselves to maintain performance.
This self-healing ability could be an important step towards increasing the reliance of next-generation perovskite solar panels.

The researchers reported their new strategy in a new paper in the journal Nature.
