A group of engineers from ETH Zurich has developed a photovoltaic ceramic that could revolutionize the industry. ETH Zurich scientists have designed a new ceramic material capable of converting sunlight into energy with an efficiency a thousand times greater than traditional solar panels.
The photovoltaic ceramic is enriched with a perovskite structure, a metal-organic framework structured in a two-dimensional network. This technology allows for the splitting of water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen thanks to the electric charge generated by light. The produced hydrogen can be stored and used as an energy carrier.

Lately, perovskite solar cells have had a very high PCE improvement in the past 10 years; laboratory perovskite-sized devices have PCEs above 25%. This development is because of the properties of the perovskite materials such as high absorption coefficients, tunable band gap, and long diffusion lengths of the carriers.
One of the best-investigated perovskite materials for solar cells is methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI 3). MAPbI 3 has attracted interest because of its properties, such as a suitable bandgap of about 1.55 eV, high absorption coefficient, and long carrier diffusion lengths, which makes it suitable for high photovoltaic performance .
