Oxford University researchers have developed a micro-thin solar coating made from perovskites, a material that captures nearly twice the energy of current silicon-based solar panels.

This innovative coating, just over one micron thick, can be ink-jetted onto various surfaces like backpacks, cell phones, and car roofs, making it highly versatile.

With the potential to achieve over 45% efficiency, this technology could significantly reduce the need for large solar farms and help accelerate the global transition to clean energy.

Despite its promise, the stability of perovskite coatings remains a challenge for commercialization.
