An international research team has fabricated a perovskite solar cell that reportedly shows lower non-radiative recombination and defect state density. “Our study introduces an innovative lead iodide ...

Lead iodide, also known as plumbous iodide, is a very rarely used compound semiconductor, which appears bright yellow at room temperature. Due to the high atomic numbers of its elements, it has a high ...

A German research team at Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy, Jülich Institute for Energy, has reported success with the recovery of every layer of a planar methylammonium lead ...

Formamidinium lead iodide is a very good material for photovoltaic cells, but getting the correct and stable crystal structure is a challenge. The techniques developed so far have produced rather poor ...

When it comes to efficiency, silicon solar cells set standards. But especially for photovoltaic elements with particularly high efficiencies, silicon production is both complex and expensive.

These crystals of lead iodide formed from a mixture of lead nitrate and potassium iodide. Yiping Zhang, of Xiamen University prepared the fine, flaky crystals by mixing the reagents in boiling water ...
