Several key issues concerning the toxicity of lead, lack of long-term stability and limitations in deposition area impede further progress in research. In EML, we focus on solving these critical issues. EML focuses on solving the key issues of current hybrid perovskite research. First, we aim to improve the stability of perovskite devices under ambient conditions by changing the composition of the perovskite absorber as well as replacing unstable organic layers with stable inorganic ones. Second, we are working on a unique large-area deposition method called solution-shearing to deposit the perovskite absorber layer. Lastly we aim to replace the toxic element present in high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.
