Engineers at Rice University have created what they call microscopic seeds for the growth of incredibly uniform and very energy-efficient two-dimensional pervaskite crystals when harvesting the electricity of the sunlight. Perovskites are a class of materials extremely useful in the construction of solar panels and are investigated as a potential replacement for conventional solar panel materials. The halide perovskites are an organic material made from abundant and inexpensive ingredients. Engineers at the University of Rice used a method of seeded growth that responds to both performance and production problems with…
