R&D on High-Stability 2D/3D Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells and Their Application in Smart Manhole Cover Power Supply Systems

I&T Solution R&D on High-Stability 2D/3D Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells and Their Application in Smart Manhole Cover Power Supply Systems
(REF: S-2026)
Trial Project
Solution Feature
  • 2D/3D perovskite structure mitigates moisture- and heat-induced degradation.
  • Hydrophobic cation protection + efficient interfacial transport enhance stability.
  • Manhole encapsulation + anti-slip design integrate PV with ground (R9/R12).
  • Adapted for manhole PV: low height, traffic load, underground humidity.
  • Smart sensing + energy management enable monitoring, perception, wireless safety.
Trial Application and Expected Outcome
  • Successfully fabricated 2D/3D perovskite modules operating >2000 h (85% RH, 60 °C).
  • Encapsulation meets manhole anti-slip R9/R12; PV prototype tested outdoors.
  • Provides clean energy for manhole sensors, reducing battery and power costs.
  • Enhances public facility intelligence and drives perovskite PV industrialization.
  • Aligns with Hong Kong’s “carbon neutrality” and “energy efficiency” targets.
