ABX3 Perovskites for Tandem Solar Cells

Perovskite solar cells carry the banner for emerging photovoltaics since they have demonstrated power conversion efficiency values well above 20%, which were traditionally only accessible for fairly established technologies such as silicon. Indeed, ABX perovskite materials have revolutionized solar...
