Day 13: 6/8

Met with John to talk about the experiments we should do. I then got the below:

Test Variations: 

• Test 1: Glass - Silver - ITO
• Test 2: Glass - Silver - TiN - ITO
• Test 3: Glass - NiP - ITO
• Test 4: Glass - NiP - TiN - ITO

Add an epoxy seal for the side of the perovskite stack.

We should use MAI as AI says it is the most relevant for the release of Iodide, but in that case, should we just deposit the perovskite layer instead, if we use MAI?

We can use a 4 pin probe with wires attached to the prongs, and seal the wires with epoxy to the silver inside to see real time resistance. We can also run a time lapse with a stopwatch inside. 

Then do some calculations to get the expectancy: https://you.com/search?q=Well+do+I+use+MAI+or+I2+then%3F+I%27m+not+sure+what+the+best+compound+would+be%3F&cid=s_6a26c6ce8ac937c67943177e

What I fed AI:

I want to expose a partial perovskite stack to iodide to see how good of a layer ITO is for protecting silver from reacting with iodide. I'm planning on exposing the stack composed of: glass - silver - ITO to Iodine, at a fixed temperature for a certain amount of time.

My question is how I can quantify degradation (will it be using the Arrhenius equation?) and how we should do this experiment as the sides of the stack could be exposed to iodine.

Basically, I want to find out how well of a barrier ITO is and how long the silver/conductor that is underneath the ITO can withstand from the iodide. How can I do that in a lab setting. How would the iodine exposure look like?
