Physicists believe they have overcome a significant barrier to the commercialisation of solar cells created with halide perovskites, a class of materials that promise a lower-cost, higher-efficiency replacement for silicon.
US physicists overcame a significant barrier to the commercialization of solar cells made with halide perovskites as a less expensive, more efficient alternative to silicon when harnessing solar energy.
