Perovskites, a ‘dirt cheap’ alternative to silicon, just got a lot more efficient

Rochester NY (SPX) Feb 17, 2023
Silicon, the standard semiconducting material used in a host of applications-computer central processing units (CPUs), semiconductor chips, detectors, and solar cells-is an abundant, naturally occurring material. However, it is expensive to mine and to purify. Perovskites-a family of materials nicknamed for their crystalline structure-have shown extraordinary promise in recent years as a f This article was originally published by Solardaily.com.
