Identifying Fundamental Limitations in Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Chenyi Yi, Nripan Mathews

The temperature dependence of the principal photovoltaic parameters of perovskite photovoltaics is studied. The recombination activation energy is in good agreement with the perovskite's bandgap energy, thereby placing an upper bound on the open-circuit vo ...
