Abstract
Improved perovskite photovoltaic performance: A recent entry in the solar cell race is perovskite cells, named for the structure adopted by salt made from metal halides and organic cations that absorb the light and generate charges. The charges generated have to be transferred to a metal oxide (typically titanium oxide), and some of these charge carriers are lost in the transfer. Mei et al. made this process more efficient by growing a more crystalline perovskite with fewer defects inside porous versions of titanium and zirconium oxide. They added a second organic cation that stuck to the pore walls and directed the growth of the perovskite crystals. The improved solar cells operated for more than 1000 hours under full sunlight.
