Prospects for low-toxicity lead-free perovskite solar cells

Abstract Since the 2012 breakthroughs1–3, it is now very much accepted that halide perovskite solar cells may have a strong practical impact in next-generation solar cells. The most efficient solar cells are using Pb-based halide perovskites. The presence of Pb in these devices, however, has caused...
