MOF to prevent degradation of hybrid halide perovskites

Hybrid Perovskite, HP, emerged as a competitive, low-cost, highly-efficient photovoltaic technology. Its adoption, however, is prevented by the poor stability of this material under the action of stressing agents, e.g., humidity. Here, I propose to investigate the use of metal-organic frameworks as multi-functional self-assembling protecting layer, which can also capture environmentally harming metals, e.g., lead, which can be released during the years of operation of a solar panel.
