Hybrid perovskite solar cells

Spin coating

A technique for depositing thin, uniform layers onto flat substrates from a solution using centrifugal force. A precursor solution is applied to the substrate, which is then spun at high speed so that the solution spreads evenly and forms a layer as the solvent evaporates.

Perovskite

Crystalline compounds with the formula ABC₃, whose highest symmetry structure is cubic.

Semiconductor; Semiconductor

Materials with an electron bandgap and electrical conductivity intermediate between that of metals and insulators.
