Breakthrough synthesis method improves solar cell stability
Solar cell efficiency has soared in recent years due to light-harvesting materials like halide perovskites, but the ability to produce them reliably at scale continues to be a challenge. A process developed by Rice University chemical and biomolecular engineer Aditya Mohite and collaborators yields 2D perovskite-based semiconductor layers of ideal thickness and purity by controlling the temperature and duration of the crystallization process.
