ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Jan. 15 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release: Findings could help engineers methodically find best molecules to increase lifespan of perovskite solar cells, rather than relying on time-consuming trial and error Perovskite solar cells like this one, made by Xiwen Gong's group, could make solar energy cheaper and more environmentally friendly--but they degrade faster than silicon. In a study published in the journal Matter, the team discovered how   more
