What was discovered
Hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 halide perovskites absorb light with high efficiency and are processed in solution; in a decade they went from 3.8% to over 26% efficiency, and in tandem with silicon they exceed 34%.
What it led to
- Low-cost photovoltaics
- Perovskite-silicon tandem cells
- Perovskite LEDs and detectors
Built on
- Dye-sensitised solar cell (Grätzel cell)1991
- Grätzel dye-sensitised cells (1991)
- perovskite chemistry
Made possible
- commercial tandem solar modules (2024-2026)
