Which consequence results when halide perovskite solar cells degrade?

A)Reduced open-circuit voltage occurs
B)Increased short-circuit current occurs
C)Increased fill factor is achieved
D)Stabilized power conversion efficiency

💡 Explanation

Degradation causes ion migration leading to defects, and the open-circuit voltage falls because these defects increase recombination rates, reducing charge carrier lifetime--a process of ionic conduction. Therefore, voltage drops, rather than current increasing, because fewer excited electrons reach the contacts.
