Paper in Journal Advanced Energy Materials

May 9, 2024

LPVO members, in cooperation with the German Institute HZB, published an important scientific article in the prestigious scientific journal Advanced Energy Materials. The first authors were Špela Tomšič (LPVO) and Marko Remec (HZB), both doctoral students in the final phase of their doctoral training.

The article entitled From sunrise to sunset: Unraveling metastability in perovskite solar cells by coupled outdoor testing and energy yield modeling presents an innovative methodology that combines experimental characterization of perovskite solar cells under realistic operating conditions with advanced numerical modeling of energy yield. The methodology opens the door to a completely new insight into the dynamics of the operation of this type of solar cell, which, among other things, enables the identification of various hitherto hidden loss mechanisms and the assessment of their effects during the lifetime of the device. All this is crucial for the further development and commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic technology.
