Oxford PV (Oxford, UK), a leader in the field of perovskite solar cells, has been named a 2022 Global Cleantech 100 company.The 100 companies on the list by Cleantech Group, picked out of more than 10 000, represent the companies best positioned to deliver solutions that will take the world from commitments to actions in the sprint to net zero.
The perovskite electronic shelf label (PESL) is the second product from Saule Technologies (Warsaw, Poland) using perovskite photovoltaic cells, the first being large-size cells designed for building façades. The new pioneering solution represents the IoT category – it is an intelligent system for operating electronic labels. Importantly, unlike traditional ESLs, it is powered not by a battery but by a perovskite photovoltaic cell.
Scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Northern Illinois University (NIU) have successfully prevented lead from escaping damaged perovskite solar cells. The research effort is their latest work in addressing concerns about potential lead toxicity.
