Soochow University researchers led by Professors Yang Xinbo and Zhang Xiaohong, with Hong Kong Polytechnic University and several photovoltaic firms, developed an indium-free composite interlayer that forms a molecular bridge between perovskite and crystalline silicon. The layer improved power conversion efficiency and long-term stability in tandem photovoltaic cells in a next-generation industrialization project; results were published online in Nature Energy on July 24.
