Interfacial passivation of perovskite solar cells to prevent lead leakage and moisture-based corrosion degradation

Caption

Researchers from Pusan National University show that crown ethers, specifically B18C6, can prevent lead leakage by forming strong host-guest bonds with lead ions in perovskite solar cells. They also provide higher resistance to degradation due to moisture.
