Abstract
The qualitative determination of small molecules that reach the gas phase after the thermal decomposition of solar cell materials, have been carried out by means of microwave spectroscopy (MW). In this case, the evidence of small molecule tracers after the thermal decomposition of pervoskites (CH3NH3PbI3) has been proved thanks to the combination between rotational spectroscopy and supersonic expansion. The results are in good agreement with those previously obtained from other techniques, and this demostrates the ability of microwave spectroscopy to perform satisfactorly as analytical tool.
