Abstract Improving the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells is critical to deployment this technology. Despite great emphasis laid on stability-related investigations, publications lack consistency in experimental procedures and parameters reported. It therefore challenging reproduce compare results thereby develop a deep understanding degradation mechanisms. Here, we report consensus between researchers field for testing cell stability, which are based International Summit Organic...

Abstract Efficient semi‐transparent solar cells can extend the adoption of photovoltaics beyond standard utility‐scale, commercial, or residential applications. Halide perovskites are particularly suitable in this respect owing to their tunable bandgap. The main drawbacks development transparent perovskite high open‐circuit voltage (V oc ) deficit and difficulties depositing high‐quality thin films over large area substrates, given low solubility bromide chloride precursors. In work,...
