Unlocking high stability in perovskite solar cells through vacuum-deposited Cs3Bi2I9 thin layer
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show great potential for efficient solar energy conversion, but their long-term stability is still a concern. To address this issue, we developed a vacuum-deposited bismuth-based perovskite-like material (Cs3Bi2I9), which forms a high-quality thin film showing remarkabl...
