What is a perovskite solar cell? At the heart of a perovskite solar cell is the absorption layer. This consists of a material with a crystal structure that absorbs sunlight and partially converts it ...

The general formula for a perovskite is ABO3 where A and B are cations. The easiest way to visualize the structure is in terms of the BO6 octahedra which share corners infinitely in all 3 dimensions, ...

This is borne out by the mineral relationships in the rock and various diagnostic elemental ratios, which reveal that perovskite and salt minerals grew from the same magma. When looked at in light ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a cost-effective, lightweight alternative to silicon-based panels, but iodine leakage has limited their durability. In order to improve these cells, a group of ...

An international research team has developed a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell based on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that improve perovskite growth and optoelectronic properties.

Scientists from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have once more broken the efficiency world record of tandem solar cells consisting of a silicon bottom cell and a perovskite top cell. The 32.5% ...
