      - IV characteristics degradation study of organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide multi-cation perovskite solar cells for photovoltaic application.- in-situ evolution of structure-property functionality in solution-processed thin films. Grazing/shallow incidence x-ray scattering (GIXS), photoluminescence (PL), IR pyrometry-based temperature control during annealing thin films.All data process and analysis has been carried out mainly with R. Investigating the stability of multi-cation organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells: solution processed perovskites characterized with XRD, SEM and UV-vis. Designing, setting-up and programming and a solar cell degradation setup using Lavbiew for automated periodical IV curve measurement of 8 cells (by relay board contact switching) in an intert (or PID controlled moisture) atmosphere and constant temperature control.
