Abstract
The primary challenge for the commercialization of hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is their chemical and thermal instability as compared to Si devices. Herein, we demonstrate that PSCs spray-coated with polystyrene retain 80% of their efficiency after 40 hours immersed in water or at 95 °C.
