SPM can be used to study the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells under different environmental conditions. Researchers can understand how devices degrade, identify failure modes, and create plans to improve device stability by tracking changes in surface morphology, grain boundaries, and device parameters over time.

Herein, we employed chemically robust and NIR-responsive O6T-4F as NFA and enhanced the performance of both organic solar cells (OSCs) and organic photodetectors (OPDs) by interfacial engineering and compositional modulation. Bathocuproine cathode interfacial layer strengthens the interfacial contact due to the strong mechanical
Solar cell A solar cell more conventionally is a PN junction, which works on the principle of Photovoltaic effect. When sunlight is incident on a Solar cell, it produces DC voltage. The basic
Photovoltaic Cell is an electronic device that captures solar energy and transforms it into electrical energy. It is made up of a semiconductor layer that has been carefully processed to transform sun energy into electrical energy. The term "photovoltaic" originates from the combination of two words: "photo," which comes from the Greek word "phos," meaning
The solar cells are connected with needle probes and the electrical measurements are made with a Keithley 2601 SMU. The assembly is also equipped with a TEC 2510 temperature controller. A reference cell is used to calibrate the lamp. One-sun measurements were carried out on cells ranging from 12.25 mm 2 to 0.01 mm 2. Fig. 1 shows three I–V curves as well as

Although the market share of busbarless solar cells is still limited, it is predicted to increase to over 30% in the next ten years [2]. The evolution to busbarless solar cells is accompanied by new challenges in manufacturing as well as in quality testing. The most
