An universal intercalation technique for high-stable perovskite photovoltaics
A group of scientists led by the Nanomaterials Research Study Institute at Kanazawa University have shown that the stability as well as performance of specific photovoltaic panels can be significantly enhanced by using cesium iodide (CsI) intercalation modern technology. This work might aid make solar cells more affordable with other renewable energy resources.
