Perovskite passivation

Perovskite passivation is the set of chemical treatments that neutralize defects in metal halide perovskite films, boosting perovskite solar cell efficiency toward 27% and slowing degradation.

Perovskite photoelectrodes

Perovskite photoelectrodes are semiconductor electrodes, based on ABX3 perovskite materials, that absorb sunlight to drive reactions such as water splitting, CO2 reduction, and nitrogen fixation.

Perovskite quantum dot solar cells

Perovskite quantum dot solar cells (PQDSCs) are photovoltaic devices whose light-absorbing layer is a film of perovskite nanocrystals, typically FAPbI3, reaching a certified efficiency of 18.23%.

Perovskite solar cell

A perovskite solar cell is a photovoltaic device with a lead or tin metal-halide light absorber, whose efficiency has climbed from 3.8% in 2009 to over 26%.

Perovskite solar cell recycling

Perovskite solar cell recycling is the recovery of functional materials, including the lead-halide absorber, from end-of-life perovskite solar cells, since lead toxicity makes it essential for deployment.

Perovskite solar module

A perovskite solar module is a photovoltaic panel whose light-absorbing layer is a metal-halide perovskite thin film, a candidate for low-cost, high-efficiency solar power both alone and in perovskite-silicon tandems.

Perovskite stability under moisture and oxygen

Perovskite stability under moisture and oxygen is how well perovskite solar cells resist water vapor and oxygen, whose reactions decompose the material into lead iodide.

Perovskite tandem solar cell

A perovskite tandem solar cell stacks a wide-bandgap perovskite absorber over silicon or another material, so the two layers capture different parts of the sunlight spectrum and beat either alone.

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell

A perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell is a photovoltaic device that stacks a perovskite cell on silicon, with certified laboratory efficiency above 35% and first commercial panels shipped in 2024.

Perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cell

A perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cell is a photovoltaic device stacking a wide-bandgap perovskite absorber on a copper indium gallium selenide absorber, lightweight and flexible, with lab efficiencies above 30%.

Perovskite/organic tandem solar cell

A perovskite/organic tandem solar cell is a photovoltaic device stacking a wide-bandgap perovskite sub-cell over a narrow-bandgap organic sub-cell, with lab efficiencies rising from below 17% to over 27%.

Perovskite/quantum-dot tandem solar cells

A perovskite/quantum-dot tandem solar cell is a photovoltaic device that stacks a perovskite top cell over a lead sulfide quantum-dot bottom cell, harvesting both visible and infrared light.

The Perseus field is a giant gas and condensate field on Australia's North West Shelf, about 135 km offshore from Karratha, Western Australia, producing into the NWS Project since 1991.

Pertamina Geothermal Energy

Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) is an Indonesian geothermal power company founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of state energy company Pertamina, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2023.

Perturb and observe algorithm

The perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm, also called hill climbing, is the most commonly used maximum power point tracking method for photovoltaic arrays, adjusting voltage to maximize power.

Peru LNG Gas Pipeline

The Peru LNG gas pipeline is a 408-kilometer pipeline carrying Camisea gas from the Andean highlands to the Pampa Melchorita liquefaction plant on Peru's Pacific coast.

Peru LNG Terminal

The Peru LNG Terminal at Pampa Melchorita, Peru, loads liquefied natural gas from the Camisea fields onto tankers and is South America's first LNG export facility.

Peshkabir Oil Field
