Doping and capping promise perovskite stability

April 26, 2021

Scientists demonstrated two new approaches to improving the stability of perovskite solar cells. By both incorporating rubidium into the structure of the perovskite, and adding a film of two-dimensional perovskite as a capping layer, they were able to demonstrate a significant reduction in the cell’s sensitivity to moisture. The group says its research will open up new routes to improved performance and stability in perovskite PV.

Researchers have been able to push perovskite solar cell technologies to high-efficiency levelsin just a few years. Though commercial applications capable of long-term high performance appear just around the corner, concerns surrounding ...

Was the vaccine not able to hold on to its promise? This had really baffled me.
