2/4 Let’s work on single-crystal PSCs! History shows that single crystals of conventional semiconductors such as Si, Ge, GaAs produce the highest photovoltaic efficiencies than polycrystals. Perovskites do not obey this norm – at least at the moment. Why?

¾ Polycrystalline PSC field has seen ∼10 000 papers already; while there are only 19 publications on single-crystal PSCs. This comparison shows that the latter field is in its infancy and that the most intriguing findings are yet to come!

4/4 The meager interest in single-crystal PSCs is due to the challenges in their chemistry and physics, including the lack of surface trap management. Our group brightest minds like Bekir Türedi Vishal Yeddu and others offer a recipe to overcome these challenges and reach 28%!

Absolutely true

This is my first official post as Dr. Bekir Turedi. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make this such an exciting and rewarding journey. Finally, a long journey has to end for a new voyage to start...... KAUST PSE KAUST

A significant advance in perovskite X-ray detection that is achieved by a great collaboration of Prof. Bakr's group and KovalenkoLab. Happy to be part of it as an equal first-author. #perovskite #Science #ETH KAUST KAUST PSE ETH Zurich Maksym Kovalenko researchsquare.com/article/rs-111…
