No idea. IIRC the problem comes from chemical instability i.e., even when properly encapsulated, the methylammonium just evaporates/decompose and you're left with a nice lead iodide layer. Can't say if it's better now. It's been quite a feew years ago.

I used to work on hybrid perovskite for solar cells, during my PhD, a few years ago. The problem with theses materials was their short lifetime (some thousands of hours of sun exposition) and chemical instability, which made them unsuitable for "real life" uses, back then (but suitable to get high impact-factor papers...). Is that still a problem?

Thanks, I hate it.

Spot on. I love being almost alone with my breakfast, tons of coffee and my book.

Yes, but which sand?

Maybe I need a bit more coffee, but I read this as "Although I think I'm feeling like this, I don't like it, as it makes me feel a bit racist".

I meant that literally every other company is after the money, not only Google or big ones.

Bastards... I spend a lot of time carefully crafting them :-P

I'm perfectly able to be negative about them and their competition at the same time.
