Atomic-scale mechanism of water-induced perovskite degradation revealed

A research team has successfully observed and identified the water-induced degradation mechanism of perovskite, which is a next-generation optoelectronic material, in real time at the atomic scale. Published in Matter, this study presents key strategies for enhancing the stability of perovskite materials and is expected to accelerate their commercialization. The team was led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at DGIST.
