5. Effects of Environment on Charge Recombination in Organo-Metal-Halide Perovskite Observed by Photoluminescence Microscopy and Spectroscopy
Abstract : Organo-metal-halide (OMH) perovskites form a new class of materials withperovskite crystal structure ABX3 where A is an organic molecule, B is lead (Pb)and X is a halide atom (I or Br). OMH perovskite semiconductors have been widely used in photovoltaics due to their very strong absorption of sun light, very suitable electrical properties, and the ease of preparation. READ MORE
