Developed at the University of Surrey, the coating has been designed to protect the organic molecules within perovskite solar ...

With the protective layer in place, the open-circuit voltage of the solar cells increased from 750 to 850 millivolts.

The search for a viable protective layer led them to explore van der Waals materials, named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals (1837–1923).
