Simple process extends lifetime of perovskite solar cells

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which limits the use of these devices in everyday life, has challenged researchers in the field to find viable solutions.

Simple method boosts durability of perovskite solar cells in real-world settings

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 21, 2025 A research team at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Sao Paulo has developed a novel method to reduce the degradation of perovskite solar cells, potentially clearing a path toward their broader commercial adoption. The study directly addresses one of the main barriers to real-world use: the rapid performance loss these cells face when exposed to ambient humidity and temperatures. Pe
