Molecular seal strengthens perovskite solar cells, while pushing efficiency to 26.6%

SMRTR summary

Chinese scientists developed a molecular sealing technique that prevents damage during solar cell manufacturing, achieving 26.6% efficiency in perovskite solar cells. The method uses a coordination complex to protect the cell structure during heating, enabling devices to retain over 97% efficiency after continuous operation and survive 2,000+ hours of extreme testing conditions.
