Perovskite and Silicon: A Tandem Revolution in Solar Technology


In 2009, researchers demonstrated that solar cells made from perovskites, specifically methylammonium lead bromide and methylammonium lead iodide, possess superior light-absorption capabilities. These materials, known as lead halide perovskites or simply perovskites, marked the beginning of a novel
