Clues from defect photochemistry

Nature Materials volume 17, pages 383–384 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Charge carriers in metal halide perovskites seem to be only marginally affected by defect-related trap states. Filippo De Angelis and Annamaria Petrozza suggest that the key to this behaviour lies in the redox chemistry of halide defects.
