Pusan National University Researchers Improve the Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells
Researchers from Pusan National University show that crown ethers, specifically B18C6, can prevent lead leakage by forming strong host-guest bonds with lead ions in perovskite solar cells. They also provide higher resistance to degradation due to moisture. Image credit: Ji-Youn Seo from PNU They utilized crown ether B18C6 with interfacial passivation action to prevent lead leakage and degradation of perovskite due to moisture Perovskite solar cells are considered the strongest contend...
