“Critical assessment of carbon pastes for carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells” is now on Carbon!

“Critical assessment of carbon pastes for carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells” is now on Carbon!

Perovskite solar cells using carbon electrodes (C–PSCs) possess the advantageous features of low cost, high stability and a simple fabrication process. They are considered a promising technology for producing cost-effective solar electricity. However, the power conversion efficiency of C–PSCs lags far behind that of the conventional gold-based counterparts due […]

Herein, we demonstrate resilient, high-efficiency triple-cation perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by incorporating carbon dots (CDs) derived from human hair into the perovskite film synthesis. It is found that a toluene-based antisolvent containing CDs results in the formation of a bilayer structure where a wave-like textured […]
