New inorganic wide-bandgap perovskite subcells that are both efficient and stable
All-perovskite tandem solar cells, stacks of p-n junctions developed from perovskites with different energy bandgaps, have the potential of achieving greater efficiencies than conventional single-junction solar cells. Up until now, nevertheless, a lot of proposed all-perovskite tandem cells have actually not achieved the preferred power conversion performances (PCEs), usually because of difficulties associated with developing ideal narrow- and wide-bandgap subcells.
