Recently, Journal of the American Chemical Society (DOI: 10.1021/jacs.9b11546) published an online research paper entitled "Efficient and stable low-bandgap perovskite solar cells enabled by CsPbBr3-cluster assisted bottom-up crystallization approach" by professor Wei Zhanhua’s team from College of Materials Science and Engineering, Huaqiao University (HQU). The paper marks the team’s significant progress in the field of perovskite solar cells with Xie Liqiang, lecturer of HQU as the first author, professor Wei Zhanhua as the corresponding author and HQU as the only contact unit.   

Figure a: Schematic illustration of the CsPbBr3 cluster assisted crystallization approach.

Figure b: J–V curve measured under reverse scan direction (1.2 V to oV, 250 mV s^-1).

Figure c: Maximum power point tracking under LED lamp with light intensity of 100 mW cm^-2.

The team members, including postgraduates Lin Kebin, Lu Jianxun, Feng Wenjing, Song Peiquan, Yan Chuanzhong, Liu Kaikai, Shen Lina and Tian Chengbo (teacher), participated in the research. The research project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province, HQU's Scientific Research Funds and HQU's Promotion Program for Young and Middle-aged Teacher in Science and Technology Research, etc.
