⚡ Japan's energy self-sufficiency: just 13%.

The fix:
→ Perovskite solar (flexible, on walls)
→ Next-gen geothermal (closed-loop)
→ Floating offshore wind

Key edge: Japan holds 30% of global iodine — critical for perovskite cells.

Perovskite based Solar's Biggest Issue And a Solution From Germany Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and partners have identified a way to stabilise Perovskite cells from the faster degradation they suffer now

#Perovskite solar cells, long seen as the next big leap in solar #innovation that will break the 30% efficiency barrier, have a problem of faster degradation, due to their thermal sensitivity. #Researchers in Germany claim a solution.

More stable perovskite solar cells for extreme temperature fluctuations LMU researchers develop molecular ‘anchored net’ against thermal fatigue.

#Perovskite solar cells get tougher: #LMU researchers develop a molecular “anchored net” that mitigates thermal stress under extreme temperature swings (−80 to +80 °C). Result: up to 26% efficiency with strong stability – key for #space and harsh environments. 🚀 #SolarEnergy #SpaceTech

Linköping University Demonstrates Qubit Functionality in Perovskite Materials

LiU researchers created spin qubits in chromium-doped perovskite crystals via a 480°C 'cooking' method — cheaper & scalable vs. diamond or superconducting approaches. Qubit signals converted to optical for quantum comms. Published in Nature Communications.
