Perovskite structures

Perovskite structures refer to a specific arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice, named after the mineral perovskite (CaTiO3). These structures typically consist of a larger cation (positively charged ion) surrounded by smaller cations and oxygen anions. This unique arrangement gives perovskites special properties, making them useful in various applications, such as solar cells, LEDs, and superconductors. Their ability to absorb light efficiently and transport electricity makes them a focal point in materials science and energy technology, with ongoing research aimed at enhancing their performance and stability.
