Australian researchers advance halide perovskite cell stabilization

Australian researchers advance halide perovskite cell stabilization University of Sydney researchers have suppressed ion migration at the B-site in halide perovskites, reducing energy loss and improving solar cell stability and performance reliability. March 21, 2025 Ev Foley Markets Markets & Policy Technology Technology and R&D Australia Oceania Image: University of Sydney Share From pv magazine Australia University of Sydney researchers from the schools of physics, aerospace and chemical and biomolecular engineering, in collaboration with a metal matrix composites researcher from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, have suppressed ion migration in halide perovskites. Their study, published in Science Advances, claims that modifying specific atoms at the B-site in halide perovskites can improve their stability. The researchers showed that strengthening atomic interactions reduces structural movement and limits ion migration. They discovered that adding elements like alkaline-earth metals, such as calcium (Ca) or lanthanides (rare earth metals) such as europium (Eu) and Ytterbium (Yb) to the B-site was especially effective.
