New Ionic Liquid Breaks Stability Barrier for Perovskite Solar Cells
A new ionic liquid additive developed by researchers at Purdue and Emory universities could transform perovskite solar technology. The compound stabilises crystal growth and buried interfaces, dramatically slowing heat- and light-driven degradation. Solar cells treated with the additive retained about 90% of their efficiency after 1,500 hours at 90...

A New Method Improves Kesterite Solar Cells, Making Them More Efficient
Researchers at the University of New South Wales have set a new efficiency record for kesterite-based solar cells, achieving 11.4 percent power conversion efficiency using hydrogen annealing. This method enhances carrier collection by redistributing sodium and oxygen, reducing defects, and improving charge transport. The findings, published in Natu...
