A team of researchers has introduced a novel method to dramatically enhance the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells, overcoming a longstanding barrier to their widespread use. The approach, featured in Joule, employs the molecule TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) and a brief infrared heating pulse to repair internal crystal defects within the solar cell material.
