Perovskite Research Discoveries May Lead to Solar Cell, LED Advances
“Promising” and “remarkable” are two words U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory scientist Javier Vela uses to describe recent research results on organolead mixed-halide perovskites. Perovskites are optically active, semiconducting compounds that are known to display intriguing electronic, light-emitting and chemical properties. Over the last few years, lead-halide perovskites have become one of the most…
