Abstract

Perovskite solar cells have shown remarkable improvement in certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) [1] of >22%. Nevertheless, many challenges regarding the stability and toxicity of the lead based perovskite material remains at the forefront of current research. The toxicity of lead which is...
