High-efficiency perovskite tandem solar cells making use of cross-linked layers
The power conversion performance (PCE) of single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has actually increased remarkably from 3.8% to 25.2% in simply a decade. As the quick development of PCE has been approaching the limit of its academic performance, making tandem solar cells by incorporating subcells with different bandgaps offers an avenue to surpass the Shockley-Queisser restrictions of single-junction solar cells.
