In a step that could bring perovskite crystals closer to use in the burgeoning solar power industry, researchers from a joint Los Alamos National Laboratory, Northwestern University and Rice University research study have tweaked their crystal production method and developed a new type of 2-dimensional layered perovskite with outstanding stability and more than triple the material’s previous power conversion efficiency.
