The commercial use of metal-organic halide perovskites
Research gap analysis derived from 3 physics papers in our local library.
The gap
The commercial use of metal-organic halide perovskites is limited by stability and toxicity issues. The substitution of Pb by other divalent cations outside of group IVA results in compounds with less good optoelectric properties.
Evidence profile

Traditional Pb-based PSCs remain limited by issues of toxicity and structural instability. There is a need for environmentally benign, lead-free alternatives. The certified power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of halide perovskites have surpassed 25% in recent years, but there is still a need for further improvement.
