Accelerated ageing of organic and perovskite photovoltaics

Nature Energy volume 8, pages 1300–1302 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

As the stability of organic and perovskite solar cells improves, accelerated ageing methods become increasingly essential to elucidate their long-term degradation mechanisms and to predict their real-world operational lifetimes. By effectively applying these underutilized tests, emerging photovoltaic technologies can be de-risked and their time to market can be expedited.
