Pseudo-halide anion engineering for α-FAPbI3 perovskite solar cells

Jiyoun Seo, Haizhou Lu, Jaeki Jeong

Metal halide perovskites of the general formula ABX3—where A is a monovalent cation such as caesium, methylammonium or formamidinium; B is divalent lead, tin or germanium; and X is a halide anion—have shown great potential as light harvesters for thin-film ...
