Title: Stability at Scale: Challenges of Module Interconnects for Perovskite Photovoltaics

Abstract

Photovoltaic modules must invariably have three characteristics: efficiency, scalability, and stability. Halide perovskite solar cells, while generating excitement throughout the research community, have yet to deliver on all three aspects simultaneously.
