Explained: Why perovskites could take solar cells to new heights
The perovskite family of solar materials is named for its structural similarity to a mineral called perovskite, which was discovered in 1839 and named after Russian mineralogist L.A. Perovski. The original mineral perovskite, which is calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO 3), has a distinctive crystal configuration. It has a three-part structure, whose
A perovskite solar cell. A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead or tin halide-based material as the light-harvesting active layer.
