This strategy, outlined in a paper in Nature Electronics, allowed them to fabricate n-type transistors with field-effect mobilities of up to 33 cm 2 V −1 s −1, using formamidinium lead iodide ...

Perovskite solar cells are poised to be the next big photovoltaic technology, after silicon. But they usually don’t last more than a couple of years. They also contain toxic lead, which portends ...

Lead iodide perovskites are emerging as promising light absorbers for solution-processed thin-film photovoltaic applications 1,2,3,4,5,6. These materials are also being studied intensively for use ...

Lead iodide, also known as plumbous iodide, is a very rarely used compound semiconductor, which appears bright yellow at room temperature. Due to the high atomic numbers of its elements, it has a high ...

By regulating the secondary growth of lead iodide, an international group of scientists has built a perovskite solar cell with low non-radiative recombination and defect state density. The device ...

A German research team has developed a new technique to recover and reuse methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) from perovskite solar cells via solvent extraction. Such recycling method can ...

“Lead iodide is a key raw material for organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells,” so the details of crystal formation are a subject of considerable research interest.

Once separated, the cleaned lead can then be recycled back to the manufacturers in the form of lead iodide to be used in the creation of more solar cells.
