Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) has developed a flat panel solar cell with the highest efficiency in the world.KEPCO announced on Oct. 21 that it has succeeded in producing a perovskite solar cell with photoelectric conversion efficiency of 20.4 percent, which eclipses the previous world record o

[비지니스코리아=윤영실 기자] 한국전력은 세계 최고의 광전변환효율을 가진 평판형 페로브스카이트(perovskite) 태양전지를 개발했다고 21일 밝혔다.광전변환효율은 입사(入射)되는 태양광 에너지와 태양전지에서 출력되는 전기 에너지의 비율로 빛을 전기로 전환하는 비율을 의미한다.한전 전력연구원이 개발한 이 태양전지는 지금까지 발표된 평판형 태양전지의 광전변환효율 20.1%를 넘어 세계 최고 수준인 20.4%를 달성했다.페로브스카이트 태양전지는 육방 면체 구조를 지닌 반도체 물질로, 빛을 전기로 바꾸거나 전기를 빛으로 바꿀 수 있어
