Liquid-assisted crystal growth cuts perovskite defects for efficient solar cells and LEDs
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- A research team led by Seong Sik Shin at SKKU, with KRICT and UC San Diego, reports a liquid-assisted crystal growth method for perovskites.
- The method reduces defects in perovskite materials used in solar cells and LEDs.
- The source reports the work targets more efficient solar cells and LEDs.
Why it matters
Defects limit the efficiency and stability of perovskite devices, so methods that reduce them bear on the practical development of next-generation solar cells and LEDs.
