Contest to make audience more aware of rechargeable eneloop batteries
To make its audience more aware of its eco-friendly recyclable and rechargeable eneloop batteries, Panasonic Energy Europe is organising a photography contest around the themes of sustainability and the environment. Every year, approximately 300 million batteries are used worldwide, a staggering 90,000 tons of which end up as household waste in Europe alone.
Perovskite solar cells hit 21.1% efficiency and record reproduciblity
Perovskite solar cells show promise for cost-effective solar energy but heat stability is still an issue. This has been addressed by mixing perovskite materials with inorganic cesium to improve the solar cell’s thermal and structural stability. Using this approach, EPFL scientists have now developed a cesium-containing perovskite solar cell that has achieved efficiency of 21.1%, as well as record-level reproducibility.
