Abstract

Moving a perovskite into the black The bandgap of the black α-phase FAPbI 3 (where FA is formamidinium) is nearly ideal for solar cells, but it is unstable with respect to the photoinactive yellow δ-phase. Lu et al. found that a film of the yellow phase was converted to a highly crystalline black phase by vapor exposure to methylammonium thiocyanate at 100°C, and it retained this structure after 500 hours at 85°C. Solar cells fabricated with this material had a power conversion efficiency of more than 23%. After 500 hours under maximum power tracking and a period of dark recovery, 94% of the original efficiency was retained. Science , this issue p. eabb8985
