Experts from the University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering have previously used the spray-painting method to produce solar cells using organic semiconductors - but using perovskite is a major step forward.<br><br>Efficient organometal halide perovskite based photovoltaics were first demonstrated in 2012. They are now a very promising new material for solar cells as they combine high efficiency with low materials costs.<br><br><a href="http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/spray-on-solar-cells-1.392919">READ MORE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD</a>
