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...
