Over the past five years, six Fraunhofer Institutes combined their expertise in the Fraunhofer lighthouse project “MaNiTU” to identify the most sustainable paths for the market launch of such tandem solar cells. They were able to show for one that high cell efficiencies can be achieved using industry-oriented processes, however, that such high efficiencies were only currently achievable with lead perovskite materials. Based on these findings, the researchers developed suitable recycl...
