METAL HALIDE PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELLS

Getting their days in the sun

Nature Energy volume 6, pages 15–16 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

While metal halide perovskite solar cells are extensively investigated in the lab their performance and degradation in real-world outdoor conditions are still poorly understood. Now, researchers propose a method to analyse field data to identify how and why the outdoor device performance changes over time.
