Outline of Research at the Start

I will reveal degradation mechanism and expand perovskite solar cells lifetime by probing and comparing properties of perovskites’ pristine and degraded parts using multifaceted approaches. This will enable to unveil understand origin and mechanisms of degradation to design stable perovskites.
