Article Synopsis
- Perovskite solar cells made from hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide materials have gained popularity due to their high efficiency, but issues with toxic lead and material stability pose challenges for their use.
- Researchers used density functional theory to investigate ten lead-free perovskite materials that incorporate cesium, tin, and various halogens (Cl, Br, I).
- The study revealed that the types and amounts of halogen atoms affect the stability and properties of these materials, with specific lead-free combinations identified as suitable candidates for solar cell applications.
