The researchers at Lehigh University have developed a new solar cell that can achieve an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 190%, far surpassing the traditional limit of 100%. This remarkable achievement is made possible by a new material that captures energy from reflected light and heat, as well as direct sunlight. The material, which is based on tin sulfide, is combined with a layer of gallium indium arsenide phosphide and gallium indium arsenide to create a solar cell that can convert more sunlight into electricity than ever before.
