Using 4PTSC as a multifunctional additive greatly improves crystal growth in tin-halide perovskites, reducing the number of defects that typically hamper efficiency. Moreover, thanks to the chemical properties of this compound, oxidation and moisture infiltration are minimized, which boosts the durability of the material. Credit: University of Oxford Press Office
In light of the ongoing energy crises and climate change, solar energy is becoming an increasingly attractive energy solution. As the adoption of solar panels expands across both sprawling rural areas and dense urban landscapes, researchers are diligently working to advance existing photovoltaic technologies and achieve new heights in sustainability.
Unfortunately, perovskite solar cells made from Sn-HPs still face several challenges that need to be addressed. Specifically, the rapid and disordered crystallization during production leads to the formation of defects in the crystal structure of the perovskite layer, which hampers conversion efficiency. Additionally, Sn-HPs suffer from low stability and high sensitivity to moisture and ambient conditions, limiting the overall lifetime of PSCs made from them.
