Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are working to improve the performance of a promising new type of solar cell made from perovskite crystals. Using the CLS, they were able to observe the tiny crystals inside the cells form while the cells were being heated. The scientists learned that the cells start working earlier than expected and perform best when the heating time and temperature are precisely controlled. They discovered that when the crystals have defects, the cells still produce good power. This research can help companies make cheaper, more efficient solar panels, which could boost clean energy production around the world.
