Decoupling design of formamidinium-- cesium perovskites for reliable photovoltaics
Metal halide perovskites (ABX3) have actually become encouraging candidates for various optoelectronic applications because of their exceptional optoelectronic buildings as well as low-cost fabrication. Currently, the light-absorbing layer of the highest-efficiency single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is almost all based on FAPbI3 perovskite, achieving power conversion effectiveness (PCE) that is comparable to commercial crystalline silicon cells.
