A versatile method to explore and discover sustainable hybrid materials for solar energy conversion Although a popular choice for solar cells, hybrid lead halide perovskites contain toxic lead and lack long-term stability. Moreover, the lack of fully versatile deposition techniques that grow these hybrid films reproducibly and controllably has hindered the full exploration of lead-free and stable hybrid halides. A revolutionary method is needed that will lead to the discovery of new sustainable complex hybrid materials. In response, the EU-funded CREATE project aims to develop a new approach that allows stoichiometric and layer-by-layer in-vacuum deposition of wide families of organic-inorganic materials, and their mixture in any pre-determined ratio. The project’s work will lead to the design of a new generation of stable, non-toxic, hybrid films, opening up new possibilities in solar energy conversion. |
