This solar cell has created a totally new type of energy generation and now it will change everything: almost free electricity at home

Scientists can’t explain it
Clickbait bullshit headline.
Oh look it’s explained in the article.
In this context, they created a solar panel with two faces, a lower one of crystalline silicon with the ability to attract infrared rays and an upper one of perovskite with a higher ability to attract high-energy photons due to having a narrower forbidden broadband.
The top layer is treated with 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzylphosphonic acid (yes, it is impossible to repeat it quickly) which offers higher solar panel efficiency and lead treatment. It is then combined with a SiO2 nanoparticle coated substrate that optimizes cell conversion.
Seems to be perfectly explained to me. Lead treatment means this is unlikely to be adopted in many countries.

Using lead is just the first step of the Materials Science Gameplay Loop :)
