Out-of-plane cations homogenise perovskite composition for solar cells
Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) composing the formula of FA1-xCsxPbI3 provide an attractive ption for integrating high efficiency, durable stability and compatibility with upscale fabrication. Despite the Cs cation incorporation potentially enabling a perfect perovskite lattice1,2, the compositional inhomogeneity caused by A-site cation segregation is likely detrimental to the photovoltaic performance of solar cells3,4. Here,…
