Organometallic boost pushes perovskite solar cells to new record for efficiency and stability

Chemistry World

‘What they describe here is something that a lot of groups, including mine, have been doing for the past four or five years – that is putting an organic material on top of the perovskite to stand between it and the electron-selective contact … but the result is quite spectacular,’ says materials scientist Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, who works on p-i-n solar cells.
