Trace MA+ Accelerates the Degradation of Perovskite Solar Cells at Elevated Temperatures
We investigate how the A‐site cation influences the morphology and optoelectronic properties of perovskite films, and consequently, the operational stability of devices under continuous light illumination at elevated temperature. ABSTRACT Methylammonium (MA+) is the most widely adopted A‐site cation for high‐efficiency perovskite solar cells.
