| Title | Improving the Stability of High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells |
| Summary | Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising next-generation photovoltaic technologies due to their high-power conversion efficiencies (PCE), low manufacturing costs, and ease of fabrication. In recent years, PSCs have achieved remarkable efficiency improvements, surpassing 25%, making them competitive with conventional silicon-based solar cells. However, despite these advantages, the long-term operational stability of PSCs remains a significant challenge, hindering their large-scale commercialization. One of the primary factors affecting the stability of perovskite solar cells is their sensitivity to environmental stressors such as moisture, oxygen, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure. Among these, humidity and temperature are particularly critical as they can accelerate perovskite decomposition, degrade charge transport layers, and lead to rapid performance deterioration. To overcome these challenges, encapsulation has emerged as an essential strategy to protect PSCs from external environmental conditions and prolong device lifespan. This project aims to study different encapsulation materials and techniques suitable for PSCs and evaluate their effects on the electrical performance. |
