An insight into preventing perovskite semiconductors from degrading quickly, discovered at the University of Michigan, could help enable solar cells estimated to be two to four times cheaper than today’s thin-film solar panels. A potential combination with silicon-based semiconductors to form a tandem solar cell could also be very efficient and last for a long time, Xiwen Gong, U-M assistant professor of chemical engineering, notes.
