The reasoning is that the chemical would form in solution and immediately get incorporated into a perovskite crystal, after which it wouldn't have a chance to react with anything else. And it worked.

In their production, perovskite solar cells can be entirely solution processed. This means that they can be made with scalable methods like slot-die coating (Figure 2) and ink jet printing.

Perovskite solar cells are gaining attention as the next generation of solar technology due to their high efficiency, flexibility, and potential for printing. Although lead-based perovskite has ...

However, perovskite solar cells might pose bigger problems when it comes to waste. They have shorter lifespans than their silicon counterparts, so they could build up in landfills more quickly.
