Simulated CFTS Solar Cells Hit 25.52% Efficiency
Original: Earth-Abundant CFTS Solar Cells Simulated to Reach 25.52% Efficiency
Researchers report that solar cells made from copper fault tetragonal sulfide (CFTS), a material made of abundant, low-cost elements, could theoretically reach 25.52% efficiency in simulations. The figure would put the earth-abundant material among competitive photovoltaic technologies if results can be reproduced in real devices, offering a cheaper path for solar energy production.
Why now: The promise of cheap, earth-abundant materials matching top solar efficiencies draws interest amid the global energy transition.
