Perovskite Materials

Perovskite materials are a class of compounds that have a specific crystal structure, named after the mineral perovskite. They are important in various fields, especially in electronics and renewable energy, due to their unique properties like high efficiency in converting light to electricity (particularly in solar cells) and excellent superconducting abilities. Their versatility allows them to be used in applications ranging from photovoltaics to LED technology. Researchers are excited about perovskites because they can be made from inexpensive materials and potentially offer better performance than traditional alternatives.
