Thank you for the detailed insight.
Can I ask you about this?:
>But the main point is that it doesn't degrade much under harsh UV radiation, with photocurrent 94% of the initial value after more than 60 days of aging.
Does not that mean that there is 3% degradation per month or 36% per year (i.e. the whole stuff lasts roughly 3 years only at this stage)?
Or once it gets to 94% after 2 months it somehow "settles"?
- gene-h 5y agoThey don't have that information, but I suspect degradation may be continuous. There is a nice plot in the supplementary information on page 5 of how this material compares to other materials[0]. Also, I need to make a correction. I said stability was exposure under UV light, when in fact stability under exposure to air was measured. Encapsulation could probably make the material last longer.

- jaclaz 5y agoI see, hopefully once encapsulated they will last much more, otherwise, if it is linear, you would need replace them every year or so during which you go from 100% to 74%.
