– Power generation efficiency measurement and corrosion resistance demonstration test

Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Report from May 24, 2023

Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Sekisui Chemical:

On May 24, a film-type perovskite solar cell was installed at the Morigasaki Water Reclamation Center (Tokyo), and demonstration experiments began.

Verification of power generation efficiency measurement and corrosion resistance at sewage treatment facilities.

Fig. 1 Morigasaki Water Reclamation CenterThree types of batteries with different sizes:Three of each are installed, the area is 9 square meters, and the rated output is 1kw.Joint research on film-type perovskites:Until December 2025, the power generation efficiency of sewage treatment facilities will be measured and corrosion resistance will be verified.

A film-type perovskite solar cell was installed on the top of the reaction tank lid of a water treatment plant.

Comment from Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike:

Perovskite solar cells are thin, light, and bendable, making them useful tools.
