Application

Methanamine hydriodide is an important precursor for the preparation of perovskite photoactive layers for solar energy conversion.
Methylammonium iodide (MAI) is extensively used as a precursor material for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells. These solar cells offer high conversion efficiencies.
Methylammonium iodide can be used as a precursor in combination with lead iodide to change the morphology of the resulting perovskite materials. Perovskite materials can further be utilized in the fabrication of alternative energy devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), and perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

The energy costs associated with separating tightly bound excitons (photoinduced electron-hole pairs) and extracting free charges from highly disordered low-mobility networks represent fundamental losses for many low-cost photovoltaic technologies. We report a low-cost, solution-processable solar cell, based on a highly

To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, renewable power contributions must triple. Photovoltaic stations provide vital utility power, achieved primarily through third- and fourth-generation technology. Promising trends include recycling and revolutionary, ultra-lightweight, flexible, and printable solar cells.
