Organic and perovskite solar cells face complex degradation mechanisms driven by environmental stressors, intrinsic material instabilities, and interfacial failures. In this talk, I will dissect the fundamental degradation pathways that limit operational lifetimes, from phase segregation and ion migration in tin based perovskites to photochemical instability and morphological evolution in organics based on my papers in Energy and Environmental Science as part of the lectureship award. By methodically studying these processes, we can develop strategies that slow down aging, extend lifetime without compromising efficiency. Through our latest research, I will highlight how targeted stabilization strategies, including compositional engineering and interfacial modifications, are assisting for durable, high-performance organic and perovskite solar cells.
