Future looks bright as new Chinese-designed solar cell provides renewable energy breakthrough
- Chinese researchers have developed a new type of solar cell using perovskite, which is more efficient than the current silicon-based cells
- They have managed to overcome stability issues that previously stopped perovskite from being used in solar energy
In a landmark achievement that could reshape the renewable energy landscape, a team of Chinese researchers has developed a new type of solar cell with groundbreaking efficiency, unprecedented stability and an extended service life.
The technology could also reduce energy costs to a quarter of that of current silicon-based solar cells, according to the team.
The new solar cells use perovskite, a low-cost, easily available inorganic material. When exposed to sunlight, perovskite converts solar energy into electricity in a similar way to traditional solar panels, but with higher efficiency.
While perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have long shown promise for surpassing the efficiency limits of silicon-based cells, their thermal and chemical stability have been problematic. Typically, they degrade rapidly when exposed to oxygen and moisture or when operated at high temperatures.

PETALING JAYA: PAS is capable of taking control of the Perak and Pahang legislative assemblies at the next elections as there is growing support from Malay voters, says an analyst.
Chin Yee Mun, who heads the Tan Cheng Lock Centre for Social and Policy Studies at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), said the results of the 15th general election (GE15) last November showed the party gaining ground on Barisan Nasional (BN).
“The seats won by BN in Malay-majority areas (in GE15) dropped compared with previous elections. Perikatan Nasional (PN) managed to make inroads, and this success was largely due to PAS supporters,” he told FMT.
PAS won just three state seats in Perak in the 14th general election (GE14) but managed to secure 17 seats in GE15, when the state polls was run concurrently.
In Pahang, the party added seven seats to their GE14 tally of eight, for a total of 15 seats.

PETALING JAYA: PAS should field Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar for the Kemaman parliamentary by-election as the party needs the voice of a technocrat in the Dewan Rakyat, an analyst said.
Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia said Samsuri’s academic background would allow PAS to project a non-religious perspective in Parliament.
The political scientist also said election to a federal seat would prepare the PAS vice-president for service at federal level should the party form a government in the future.

PETALING JAYA: Any continuing push for Najib Razak’s release from prison will likely weaken support for Pakatan Harapan, a DAP leader said.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the leader said any attempt by PH to secure a pardon for the jailed former prime minister will backfire on the coalition and weaken the support of the non-Malays.
“The middle-class Malays who supported PH will also retreat if we actually attempt to secure a pardon for him,” said the leader.
He added that those who continue to support PH in future elections may end up doing so for the wrong reasons.
“People will vote for you not because they have hope in you, but because they just don’t want PAS.

PETALING JAYA: The government has been urged to stop holding Palestine solidarity programmes in schools following reports of students and teachers carrying toy guns at the events.
Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) chairman Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said there were concerns over the appropriateness of such programmes in schools.
She said the photos and videos of children carrying guns were an example of what could go wrong with such events.
One 55-second video that went viral showed what appeared to be a man pointing a toy rifle at students while leading a group of teachers waving Palestinian flags into an assembly.
There were also photos of children at a separate school wearing bandanas bearing the words “Save Palestine” and carrying toy guns.
