Fabrication and characterization of hybrid perovskite thin films for solar cell application

In the field of clean energy, solar cells are becoming more popular than ever. Solar cells have been around for almost 70 years. It was a ground breaking invention that allowed solar energy to be converted into electrical energy. However, the average efficiency of the solar cells is about 17 to 19 p...
