Researchers develop efficient perovskite solar cell thanks to ionic liquid capping layer
Researchers from China's Shaanxi Normal University and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have designed a perovskite solar cell with a novel defect passivation strategy based on the use of an ionic liquid (IL) perovskite capping layer.
ILs are non-molecular compounds that are composed solely of ions. They are said to possess several advantages over traditional organic solvents, such as negligible vapor pressure at room temperature and high thermal stability.
The Perovskite Handbook - 2022 edition
Perovskite-Info is happy to announce the 2022 edition of The Perovskite Handbook. This book is a comprehensive guide to perovskite materials, applications and industry. Perovskites are an exciting class of materials that feature a myriad of exciting properties and are considered the future of solar cells, displays, sensors, LEDs and more.
