NREL-Led Research Effort Adds Salt, Boosts Performance of Perovskites

Using an ionic salt to replace the fullerene layer in perovskite solar cells boosted their performance, efficiency, and durability, according to a global research effort led by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The performance of the perovskite solar cell improved with the addition of an ionic salt. Their findings appear in the journal Science. The researchers said their findings point to a promising approach to advancing perovskite photovoltaic technologies to...
