Synthesis process boosts perovskite solar cell performance to near market-ready standards

https://techxplore.com/news/2024-06-synthesis-boosts-perovskite-solar-cell.html

"synthesize formamidinium lead iodide into ultrastable, high-quality photovoltaic films... efficiency decreased >3% over more than 1K hours operation at 185°F... sprinkling precursor with 2 perovskites, guiding 3D perovskite growth, compressing/ stabilizing crystal lattice... templating with 2D crystals achieved higher quality, less internal disorder, stronger response to illumination... higher efficiency, durability... further improved to timescales approaching commercial-readiness by adding encapsulation layer"
