To achieve better performance, Shin and his team built a double layer solar cell, called tandem, in which two or more light absorbers are stacked together to better utilize solar energy. To use perovskite in these tandem devices, the scientists modified the material's optical property, which allows it to absorb a wider range of solar energy.
"Highly efficient and stable double layer solar cell developed." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 27 March 2020. < / releases / 2020 / 03 / 200327103038.htm>. A research team has developed a new type of solar cell that can both withstand environmental hazards and is 26.7% efficient in power conversion.
The conversion efficiency is improved by 5.95% through structure optimization and film thickness optimization. The use of organic and inorganic double hole layers allows for efficient tuning of the matching of energy levels between each layer and improve the photovoltaic performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

Influence of back surface field layer on enhancing the efficiency of CIGS solar cell A modeled perovskite solar cell structure with a Cu2O hole-transporting layer enabling over 20% efficiency by low-cost low-temperature processing M.M. Nicolás-Marín, F. Ayala-Mato, O. Vigil-Galán, M. Courel
Reducing the cost with a thinner absorber layer associated with the least losses in the solar cell performance and efficiency is highly recommended and vital in the solar cell designing process. So, for mass production, a compromise between the cost and the cell efficiency is required.
