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, ...

Named after 19ty century Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski, perovskite materials have a crystal-lattice structure of inorganic molecules like that of ceramics, along with organic molecules that are ...

Researchers at EPFL have found a way to dramatically reduce energy loss and boost efficiency in perovskite solar cells by ...

This structure could help to overcome some of the lingering problems that continue to dog conventional 3D perovskite materials. Moisture can quickly degrade conventional 3D perovskite solar cells ...

Inverted perovskite cells have a device structure known as “p-i-n”, in which hole-selective contact p is at the bottom of intrinsic perovskite layer i with electron transport layer n at the top.

“The technique of doping with host lattices is commonly employed to modify the perovskite lattice structure and enhance the performance of PV systems, often involving the incorporation of materi ...

By utilizing "lattice strain" of the perovskite film, they managed to incorporate Rb ions into the structure, which prevented the unwanted phase segregation. This novel approach not only ...

Perovskite cells may soon offer an alternative to silicon solar cells. These semiconductors are cheaper to manufacture and feature a high degree of ...
