Original source

For years, perovskites have been hailed as the "holy grail" of solar energy thanks to their promise of highly efficient and cheaper solar cells. Perovskites are a class of materials with similar crystalline structures with high superconductivity, high magnetoresistance, and high ferroelectricity, making them a potential replacement for silicon. Perovskite thin-film PV panels can absorb light from a wider variety of wave-lengths, allowing them to reach efficiencies of around 40% compared to silicon's theoretical limits around 30%. Unfortunately,…
