Regular perovskite solar cells, which place the electron transport layer beneath the perovskite absorber and the hole transport layer on top, face limits for large scale manufacturing and operational stability. Inverted perovskite solar cells reverse the positions of the electron and hole transport layers, offering strong power conversion ...
