Perovskite Is No Miracle Material

Just read “Perovskite solar cell reaches record efficiency”. There have been lots of articles lately about the miracles achieved with Perovskite.

By The Way

At least this article mentions:

  1. “[P]erovskite based materials are water soluble which is a serious concern for solar cells that will be exposed to the elements.”
  2. “Also, there is the problem of scaling, the cells being tested were just 0.1cm2.”
  3. “And then there is the well known issue of hysteresis, where the material sometimes appears to change when first exposed to sunlight, causing a drop in efficiency. ”
