Super solar cells withstand 10,000 bends, retain over 85% output after 2,800 hours

AI Article Summary
Researchers at the Korea Institute of Materials Science have developed flexible perovskite solar cells that can be fabricated under ambient air conditions without expensive environmental controls. These cells maintain over 85% efficiency after 2,800 operational hours and withstand 10,000 bending cycles with minimal efficiency loss. This advancement could lower production costs and expand applications in wearable electronics and vehicle-integrated solar power systems. The technology shows promise for commercial viability with large-scale production capability.
