A simple stability fix could finally bring ultra-efficient solar cells to your roof
Perovskite solar cells offer significantly higher efficiency than traditional silicon but suffer from rapid degradation when exposed to moisture, heat, and light.
Perovskite crystals can convert sunlight into electricity more efficiently than standard silicon, yet they often break down within months. Researchers recently discovered that adding a layer of bulky organic molecules can create a protective barrier against environmental stressors.
