Increasing Perovskite Temperature and Light Stability Using 2D/3D Layering
Silicon’s manufacturing cost presents a challenge for the transition to deploying more solar panels. Perovskite crystal structures are a lower-cost alternative to silicon, but they are not stable enough to be implemented on a large scale. This project investigates the possibility of increasing the mechanical and environmental stability of samples with combined 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional perovskite layers. Dynamic spin coating will be utilized on top of a 3-dimensional perovskite to create a combination with the stability of 2-dimensional perovskites and photoluminescence efficiency from 3-dimensional perovskites. This recipe would help solve the issue of stability while offering a sustainable energy source.
