Is #SAM really a 'SAM'? Our paper @nanotechie dives into why not all 'SAMs' ensure both efficiency and stability in OSCs. We reveal light-induced degradation in #2PACz. Is your favorite SAM failing your cells? @KAUST_PSE 👉 https://t.co/8syIQX4Mte

Great work by @LanzettaLuis in such short time seeing the gap in the field. Enjoy reading it open access.
⚡️Reverse bias instability is a major challenge for PV modules in the field. In our latest work @ACSEnergyLett, we tackle this issue in narrow-bandgap Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells by using Cr/Cu top contacts @KAUST_OMEGALab #OpenAccess #ACSEditorsChoice

Our findings show that for most polymer donor-based devices, photo-stability plays a more critical role than thermal stability in determining outdoor device performance.

Starting from the photostability of polymer donors in an inert atmosphere, we identify side-chain degradation as the primary photoinduced degradation mechanism and employ a DFT-based approach to assess side-chain stability.

We are excited to share our latest work on organic solar cell (OSC) stability. Utilizing a side-chain-stable polymer donor enables retention of over 90% of the initial PCE during seven months of outdoor testing under the hot Saudi climate. https://t.co/TDXu4s8ocV
