Hybrid perovskites unlocking the development of light-emitting solar cells

Nature Reviews Materials (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

Light-emitting perovskite solar cells are emerging optoelectronic devices that integrate light-emitting and electricity-generating functions in one device. This type of device unlocks new possibilities for applications as outdoor light sources, in multifunctional architecture, smart automobiles, self-powered displays and portable power floodlights.
