Thanks to exceptional optoelectronic characteristics, solar cells employing perovskite demonstrated first a power conversion efficiency ( PCE) of 9.7% in the middle of 2012, which rose steeply to an amazing 16% at the end of 2013. Perovskite-based photovoltaics have several advantages over conventional semiconductor p-n junction devices because high efficiency can be achieved from sub-micrometer-thick very cheap perovskite layers that can be formed by solution processing at temperatures below 150 degrees C, rendering the perovskite solar cell versatile in its application. If photo-and thermal stability as well as tolerance to humidity can be achieved, commercial application on the large scale appear to be feasible. 000201256 6531_ $$aPerovskite solar cell 000201256 6531_ $$aorganolead halide 000201256 6531_ $$asolar cell structure 000201256 6531_ $$aCH3NH3PbI3 000201256 6531_ $$amixed halide 000201256 6531_ $$asolid-state sensitized 000201256 700__ $$0240191$$aGraetzel, Michael$$g105292$$uEcole Polytech Fed Lausanne, Inst Chem Sci & Engn, Lab Photon & Interfaces, Sch Basic Sci, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland 000201256 700__ $$aPark, Nam-Gyu$$uSungkyunkwan Univ, Sch Chem Engn, Suwon 440746, South Korea 000201256 773__ $$j9$$k5$$q1440002$$tNano 000201256 909C0 $$0252060$$pLPI$$xU10101 000201256 909CO $$ooai:infoscience.tind.io:201256$$pSB$$particle 000201256 917Z8 $$x105528 000201256 937__ $$aEPFL-ARTICLE-201256 000201256 973__ $$aEPFL$$rREVIEWED$$sPUBLISHED 000201256 980__ $$aARTICLE
