Crystal structure of CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 perovskites (X=I, Br and/or Cl). The methylammonium cation (CH 3 NH 3 +) is surrounded by PbX 6 octahedra. [13]The name "perovskite solar cell" is derived from the ABX 3 crystal structure of the absorber materials, referred to as perovskite structure, where A and B are cations and X is an anion.
However, the solar cells are prone to degradation due to volatility of the organic [CH 3 NH 3] + I − salt. The all-inorganic perovskite cesium lead iodide perovskite (CsPbI 3) circumvents this problem, but is itself phase-unstable, the low temperature solution methods of which have only been recently developed.

Perovskite (pronunciation: / p ə ˈ r ɒ v s k aɪ t /) is a calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate (chemical formula Ca Ti O 3).Its name is also applied to the class of compounds which have the same type of crystal structure as CaTiO 3, known as the perovskite structure, which has a general chemical formula A 2+ B 4+ (X 2−) 3. [6]
Methylammonium lead halides (MALHs) are solid compounds with perovskite structure and a chemical formula of [CH 3 NH 3] + Pb 2+ (X −) 3, where X = Cl, Br or I. They have potential applications in solar cells, [2] lasers, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, radiation detectors, [3] [4] scintillator, [5] magneto-optical data storage [6] and ...
Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases are a type of perovskite structure that consists of two-dimensional perovskite-like slabs interleaved with cations.The general formula of an RP phase is A n+1 B n X 3n+1, where A and B are cations, X is an anion (e.g., oxygen), and n is the number of octahedral layers in the perovskite-like stack. [1]
In general, the perovskite nanocrystal surface is considered to be both ionic and highly dynamic. However, the ionic properties caused the instability of perovskite nanocrystals in humid condition and the degradation process can be accelerated by photoirradiation, which can alter the electronic properties of nanocrystals. [128]
Calcium titanate is obtained as orthorhombic crystals, more specifically perovskite structure. [3] In this motif, the Ti(IV) centers are octahedral and the Ca 2+ centers occupy a cage of 12 oxygen centres. Many useful materials adopt related structures, e.g. barium titanate or variations of the structure, e.g. yttrium barium copper oxide ...
The main obstacle to viable tin perovskite solar cells is the instability of tin's oxidation state Sn 2+, which is easily oxidized to the stabler Sn 4+. [10] In solar cell research, this process is called self-doping, [11] because the Sn 4+ acts as a p-dopant and reduces solar cell efficiency.
