Selective iodoplumbate cold casting for kinetically stabilized perovskites leading to high-efficiency photovoltaic modules (opens in new tab)

Traditional perovskite research mainly focuses on thermodynamically stable structures, limiting new architecture development. Here we introduce a selective iodoplumbate cold casting (SICC) process, enabling the formation of kinetic products that correspond to local minima in the reaction energy landscape. By combining simplified precursors with room-temperature crystallization, SICC can replicate reactant compositional changes, enabling the creation of diverse structures that are unattainable...
