The fabrication of perovskite photovoltaics often relies on hazardous solvents that limit their implementation in manufacturing. Now, researchers develop a green solvent system for fabrication of large-area perovskite solar modules using industrially viable and scalable deposition methods, which achieve high power conversion efficiencies.
