Characterization Suite 4.5 helps researchers get more from Paios, Phelos and Litos
Characterization Suite 4.5 enhances the software environment for Paios, Phelos and Litos, helping researchers move faster from measurement to interpretation. With new post-processing tools, expanded measurement capabilities, improved stability workflows and a stronger 64-bit software foundation, the release supports more efficient OLED, solar cell, photodetector and ageing studies.
Reverse-bias Stressing of Perovskite Solar Cells
This study shows that reverse-bias in perovskite solar cells can trigger degradation even before breakdown occurs. Rather than immediate shunting, milder reverse-bias stress leads to progressive recombination-driven performance loss and reversible dark-spot formation, highlighting a key commercialization challenge under realistic operating conditions.
Stability insights at 85 °C with Litos Lite, Paios and Setfos
This study shows how Litos Lite, Paios and Setfos helped uncover the links between electrical behaviour, structural changes and degradation in perovskite solar cells operated at 85 °C, enabling clearer insights into stability mechanisms.
