Three Swiss organizations and their nine international partners have launched a European research project that aims to develop novel types of photovoltaic cell. The cells will use perovskite PV technology, which has the potential to be both low-cost and extremely efficient. The project, titled CHEOPS, is coordinated by CSEM and has a budget of €5 million.   The term perovskite photovoltaics refers to a novel class of materials with a special crystal structure that makes possible the fabricatio...
