Do perovskites need silicon to be stable under reverse bias?
Dmitry Bogachuk, Frank Feldmann
Abstract
In a recent issue of Joule , Xu and co-workers 1 demonstrated that the 2-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are phenomenally resilient to reverse bias because most of the negative voltage in these cells is dropped across the silicon sub-cell, which thereby effectively protects the perovskite one.
