Towards unification of perovskite stability and photovoltaic performance assessment

With the rapid progress of perovskite photovoltaics (PV), further challenges arise to meet meet the minimum standards required for commercial deployment. Along with the push towards higher efficiencies, we identify a need to improve the quality and uniformity of reported research data and to focus efforts upon understanding and overcoming failures during operation. In this perspective, as a large and representative consortium of researchers active in this field, we discuss which methods require special attention and issue a series of recommendations to improve research practices and reporting.
