Enhancing perovskite solar cell stability and performance with epoxy resin: a promising path to sustainable solar energy

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a promising photovoltaic technology due to their high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, PSCs face challenges related to stability and environmental impact, limiting their widespread commercialization. In this study, we investigate the use of epoxy resin, a new organic material, to improve the stability and performance of PSCs. We demonstrate that epoxy resin can be applied to the perovskite surface, forming a protective layer that enhances stability without introducing defects. This protective layer shields the perovskite from environmental factors, such as humidity, heat, and UV light, which are known to degrade perovskites. Our findings shed light on the potential of epoxy resin as a passivation material for PSCs, paving the way for improved long-term stability and commercial viability.
