Reliably Measuring the Performance of Emerging Photovoltaic Solar Cells

No filter was required to match the response of the silicon reference cell to that of the test cells when measuring the J–V curves for the PbS devices, but the shorter wavelength bandgap of the CsPbI 3 devices required a KG2 filter to be placed in front of the silicon reference cell. It should be noted that the unfiltered silicon reference ...
