16.8 Monolithic all-perovskite triple-junction solar cells via a universal two-step solution processWang, J. (author), Zardetto, V. (author), Datta, K. (author), Zhang, D. (author), Wienk, M.M. (author), Janssen, R.A.J. (author)Perovskite semiconductors hold a unique promise in developing multijunction solar cells with high-efficiency and low-cost. Besides design constraints to reduce optical and electrical losses, integrating several very different perovskite absorber layers in a multijunction cell imposes a great processing challenge. Here, we report a versatile two...article 2020
