The University of New South Wales in Australia recently announced that researchers at the university have developed a non-toxic and flexible thin-film solar cell
.
The current development of "zero energy" buildings is subject to the cost of thin-film solar panels installed on the exterior of the building, as well as the high toxicity and rarity of panel raw materials
.
A team of researchers from the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of New South Wales has developed a solar panel called "CZTS", which uses thin-film chip technology, and its chip material is derived from copper, zinc, tin and sulfur rich in the earth's crust, avoiding the toxicity problems of traditional large-scale thin-film solar cells, and the material cost is relatively low
.
Dr.
Hao Xiaojing, the research leader, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency that CZTS has the characteristics of flexibility, can be attached to different materials such as glass, walls, roofs, etc.
, and its thin and light characteristics can also be applied to automobiles
.
The university is working with several large companies to commercialize
the technology.
Hao Xiaojing said: "At present, the photoelectric conversion rate of the chip is 7.
6%, and the researchers are still carrying out relevant debugging work, and the conversion rate exceeds 15% before it can be put into the market
.
" ”
It is understood that because cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells are toxic, they are currently mainly used in large-scale solar power stations, and are not suitable for residential buildings
.
Solar panels currently used in construction are usually made of crystalline silicon, and although they cost less than CZTS, they lack flexibility and cannot be installed
on curved surfaces.
