Performance and stability analysis of all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics in light-driven electrochemical water splitting by Wang, J, Branco, B, Remmerswaal, WHM, Hu, S, Schipper, NRM, Zardetto, V, Bellini, L, Daub, N, Wienk, MM, Wakamiya, A, Snaith, HJ, Janssen, RAJ

“…We observe severe charge collection losses in the narrow-bandgap sub-cell that can be attributed to the interface degradation between the narrow-bandgap perovskite and the hole-transporting layer. Our study suggests that developing chemically stable absorbers and contact layers is critical for the applications of all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics.…”
