(author)Degradation rates in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) were previously shown to be bias dependent; however, little is known about the mechanisms and driving factors that account for such degradation. Herein, stability studies under concentrated sunlight are demonstrated as a powerful experimental methodology to investigate bias-dependent PSC...article 2019

Vargas, C. (author), Nie, S. (author), Chen, D. (author), Chan, C. (author), Hallam, B. (author), Coletti, G. (author), Hameiri, Z. (author)Abstract—Recently, an n-type multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) was observed to be susceptible to degradation under illumination at elevated temperatureswith similarities to carrier-induced degradation in p-type mc-Si. In this study, we demonstrate degradation and regeneration of the effective lifetime of non-diffused n-type mc-Si wafers using...article 2019

(author)Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC) have attracted great attention due to the high efficiencies achieved in the past few years (up to 24.2 %). Perovskite semiconductors show excellent light absorption and large charge-carrier mobilities. In addition, device fabrication is low cost and easily up-scalable. However, the current density-voltage curve (J-V)...conference paper 2019
