The efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has developed rapidly in recent years, but the stability has still lagged behind. The ion migration effect, especially from small methylammonium (MA) cations, is a main factor for stability issues, and the use of MA-free perovskites is one potential pathway to suppress ion migration.
Solar cells can be used to transform solar energy into electric energy. The discovery of a solar cell at the Bell Labs, USA in 1954 was a breakthrough in research and scientific community [3].
