Ultra-thin solar cells for self-sufficient drones and sustainable aviation – The Engineer

According to the JKU researchers, whether on Earth or in space, autonomous energy is critical in keeping power systems running independently for extended periods of time, particularly in remote or unpredictable environments. Conventional energy solutions – including fossil fuels, batteries and other alternative energy generation methods have their challenges, the researchers said. They are often too large, require cables or stationary charging, negatively impact on the environment, or their power density is too low. As a solution, the research team developed ultra-thin and flexible perovskite solar cells. The researchers said…
