Perovskite cells increase their efficiency by 40% with a pressure of 7 MPa.

Scientists have found that perovskite cells increase their efficiency by 40% when the pressure reaches 7 megapascals (MPa). Above 7 MPa, the efficiency

is retreating because the cells are being damaged.

A cell has a starting efficiency of 9.8%; it reaches 13.7% under a pressure of 7 Mpa. Its efficiency drops back to 10.9% when the pressure is increased to 10 MPa.
