Perovskite solar cell issues catch cost carriers and after that launch them once again
Amongst the most exciting products for solar cells are the supposed MAPI semiconductors. They consist of natural methylammonium cations and lead iodide octahedra that develop a perovskite structure. MAPI based solar cells have achieved performances of 25% within a couple of years. However so far, the semi-organic semiconductors are still maturing swiftly.

Scientists show clay substance can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells
Researchers from Turkey's Konya Technical University have shown that sepiolite, a normally taking place clay substance, can be included in perovskite precursor materials, and also develop a scaffold layer that can improve the performance as well as stability of solar cells. The researchers think that this substance could be valuable in developing reproducible processes for the manufacturing of large-area perovskite solar cells.
