The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used in indoor testing of perovskite solar cells do not expose them to the levels ultraviolet (UV) radiation that they would receive actual outdoor use. We report degradation mechanisms p-i-n-structured under unfiltered sunlight and with LEDs. Weak chemical bonding between perovskites polymer hole-transporting materials (HTMs) transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) dominate accelerated A-site cation migration, rather than direct HTMs. An aromatic phosphonic...
Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have witnessed astonishing improvement in power conversion efficiency (PCE), more recently, with advances long‐term stability and scalable fabrication. However, the presence of an anomalous hysteresis behavior current density–voltage characteristic these devices remains a key obstacle on road to commercialization.

In this article, hierarchical TiO2 microstructures (HM-TiO2) were synthesized by a simple solvothermal method adopting tetra-n-butyl titanate as the titanium source in mixed solvent composed of N,N-dimethylformamide and acetic acid. Due to high crystallinity superior light-scattering ability, resultant HM-TiO2 are advantageous photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells. When assembled entire photovoltaic device with C101 dye sensitizer, pure HM-TiO2-based cells showed an ultrahigh...
Abstract Formamidinium (FA) lead halide (α‐FAPbI 3 ) perovskites are promising materials for photovoltaic applications because of their excellent light harvesting capability (absorption edge 840 nm) and long carrier diffusion length.
