PEROVSKITE PHOTOVOLTAICS

A dataquake for solar cells

Nature Energy volume 7, pages 5–6 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

The advancement of perovskite photovoltaics has led to a large increase in the volume of published data, which is not always easy to find or reuse. Now, researchers have consistently formatted parameters related to fabrication and performance of over 42,000 solar cells and made them available for analysis in an open-access database.

Writing in Nature Energy, T. Jesper Jacobsson and Eva Unger from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and Uppsala University, together with 92 other colleagues across the world, now offer such an ability through the Perovskite Database Project1. This massive undertaking consists of an open-source online database that contains nearly all information regarding halide perovskites for solar cells published to date in the peer-reviewed literature along with a tool for visualizing and analysing data.
