FF, fill factor; PCE, power conversion efficiency; SCLC, space-charge-limited current; SVA, solvent vapour annealing; THF, tetrahydrofuran.

Data in brackets show the cell with the highest FF. Data in parentheses are average results out of 40+ encapsulated devices tested in air or 28 non-encapsulated devices tested in nitrogen.

*Series resistance of the device.

Shunt resistance of the device.

Charge mobility values obtained from SCLC experiments.

§Cells were tested in air with encapsulation, illumination intensity was 98 mW cm−2.

||Cells without encapsulation were tested in a glove box filled with dry nitrogen; illumination intensity was 100 mW cm−2.
