Lead-halide perovskites have become one of the most promising semiconductors for solar cells due to their low cost, easier processability, and high power conversion efficiencies. Scientists at the Ames Laboratory found that there can be significant impurities or “dopants” permeating the material, which could significantly affect the material’s chemistry, moisture stability, and transport properties - depending on how the material is made.
