Perovskite and organic semiconductors can be combined to make tandem solar cells but, to date, their efficiency has hovered around 20%. Now, researchers demonstrate a 23.6% tandem by reducing interfacial defects to improve the perovskite cell’s voltage and developing an ultrathin interconnection layer.
