Understanding reverse bias effects

Perovskite photovoltaics that use self-assembled monolayers as hole-transport layers are unstable under reverse bias, but the underlying mechanism has not been well understood. This instability is now shown to arise from formamidinium deprotonation triggered by the discontinuities in the self-assembled monolayer on the indium tin oxide substrate.

Highly stable all-perovskite tandem solar cells with targeted conversion of tin–lead surfaces

Treating the tin–lead surface in perovskite films with caesium hydroxide forms solid metal oxides that stabilize the surface against photothermal degradation. When used in all-perovskite tandem solar cells, a certified power conversion efficiency of 28.56% is achieved, 90% of which is retained after 500 h of testing under ISOS-L-3 conditions.
