Inhibition of Amine–Water Proton Exchange Stabilizes Perovskite Ink for Scalable Solar Cell Fabrication
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ambient air processing is desirable for the industrial fabrication of perovskite solar cells. Here, we show that perovskite ink containing methylammonium and formamidinium in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and N,N-dimethylformamide, a cosolvent composition that satisfies prerequisites for upscaling solar cell fabrication, degrades within a day in ambient air. From 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis, we find that water proton exchange with methylammonium and formamidinium facilitates the aminolysis of formamidinium by methylamine. The addition of elemental sulfur inhibits this proton exchange process via sulfur–amine reactions, resulting in a stable perovskite ink with an extrapolated half-life of 6300 h. The control ink aged for 1 day does not form perovskite films for solar cell fabrication, while the sulfur-stabilized ink is reproducibly used to make devices with efficiencies >15% when aged for over 1 month. The stabilized ink is suitable for upscaling perovskite solar cell fabrication, with efficiencies up to 17% for blade-coated devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
