Using Accelerated Aging Protocols for Validating the Stability of Carbon-Backed Perovskite Solar Cells
Perovskite semiconductors present a pathway to low-cost, domestically manufactured solar panels but face rapid degradation from chemical reactions triggered by environmental stressors. To achieve lifetimes comparable to incumbent energy technologies, carbon-based electrodes offer a promising option for more stable devices based on carbon’s chemical inertness. In this work, we compare the environmental stability of perovskite devices with carbon or metal electrodes using accelerated aging tests under light and thermal cycling and subsequent characterization. The results will inform the development of more durable, commercially viable perovskite panels, addressing one of the main challenges preventing the widespread adoption of perovskite solar technology.
