Scientists have developed a new way to boost the performance of perovskite solar cells by precisely controlling the formation of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite phases at critical interfaces. Perovskite solar cells are seen as the future of renewable energy because they can be very efficient and low-cost. But the big challenge is keeping the material stable
