University College London sets new record for generating energy from room light with advanced perovskite solar cells

London (News Desk): A team of scientists from University College London (UCL) has set a new world record for generating energy from artificial light inside a room with the help of perovskite solar cells. This technical achievement will pave the way for the easy operation of small electronic devices by reducing the need for batteries in the future.
Hope for a battery-free future
Scientists say that this breakthrough will make it possible in the future to operate devices such as remote controls and headphones without additional batteries, only from room light, which is an important step for energy saving and environmental protection.
Revolution in perovskite solar cells
Perovskite materials have the potential to revolutionize the field of renewable energy due to their high efficiency and low cost. Compared to traditional silicon solar cells, they are more efficient and less expensive in converting light into electricity.
New technique boosts energy production
UCL researchers have reduced the energy-wasting factors in solar cells by adding the chemical rubidium chloride, which has significantly increased energy production.
Future prospects
This breakthrough will not only promote low-cost, environmentally friendly energy sources, but could also change the way we use energy in everyday life.
