Crafting Complex Hybrid Materials for Sustainable Energy Conversion
With an unprecedented rise in solar cell efficiencies and ease of fabrication, hybrid lead halide perovskites (PbHP) have gained worldwide popularity. However, these materials still rely on the use of toxic Pb and lack of long-term stability. Moreover, distracted by a race for higher conversion efficiencies, the development of in-vacuum deposition techniques to reproducibly and controllably grow these hybrid films has been highly overlooked. This is now the main hurdle for the full exploration of Pb-free and stable hybrid halides, which might not be as defect tolerant or easily produced by solution process as PbHP. Therefore, a revolutionary method allowing the discovery of new sustainable…
