Stability of perovskite solar cells reaches next milestone
Perovskite semiconductors promise highly efficient and affordable solar cells. Nonetheless, the semi-organic product is very sensitive to temperature differences, which can swiftly cause fatigue damages in typical outdoor usage. Adding a dipolar polymer compound to the precursor perovskite solution assists to neutralize this.
