Evening out the heat The conversion of precursors into active layer perovskite solar cells normally occurs by heating underlying substrate. Conversion tends to occur near top film, where solvent is lost, and unwanted preheating reactants substrate before reaction. Li et al . show that use a surrounding transfer oil (anisole) leads more rapid even heating, removes solvent, avoids air water contamination effects. larger grains uniform films led much greater retention efficiency in moving from...
The mixtures of cations and anions used in hybrid halide perovskites for high-performance solar cells often undergo element phase segregation, which limits device lifetime. We adapted Schelling's model segregation to study individual cation migration found that the initial film inhomogeneity accelerates materials degradation. fabricated perovskite films (FA1-xCsxPbI3; where FA is formamidinium) through addition selenophene, led homogeneous distribution retarded aggregation during processing...

The ultrathin Eu‐MOF layer introduced at interface between electron‐transport and absorber to improve stability. Both Eu ions organic ligands MOF can reduce defect concentration carrier transport. Moreover, due Förster resonance energy transfer effect, films light utilization decomposition under ultraviolet light. Meanwhile, also turns tensile strain compressive films. As a result, corresponding...
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are promising to penetrate photovoltaic market. However, the wide-bandgap perovskite absorbers used in top-cell often suffer severe phase segregation under illumination, which restricts operation lifetime of cells.

By employing adenosine triphosphate, residual tensile absorber successfully converted compressive strain, mitigates light-induced ion migration and...
Metal halide perovskites are promising as next-generation photovoltaic materials, but stability issues still a huge obstacle to their commercialization. Here, the formation and evolution of cracks in perovskite films during thermal cycling, which affect mechanical stability, investigated. Compressive strain is employed suppress delamination by situ formed polymers with low elastic modulus crystal growth.
