The most efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are made from a complex mixture of precursors. Typically, to then form thin film, an extreme oversaturation the precursor is initiated trigger nucleation sites, e.g., by vacuum, airstream, or so-called antisolvent. Unfortunately, triggers do not expel lingering (and highly coordinating) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which used as solvent, films; this detrimentally affects long-term stability. In work, (the green) sulfide (DMS)...
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) excel in achieving high open-circuit voltages (VOC) for narrow bandgaps (∼1.6 eV) but face challenges with wide-bandgap perovskites, like methylammonium lead trichloride (MAPbCl3) a 3.03 eV bandgap.
