An international team of researchers from the University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Oxford, University of Bath, and Delft University of Technology have discovered that exposing perovskite solar cells—a compound made of lead or tin—to daylight and certain levels of humidity can permanently fix any existing defects. Perovskite cells are used as an alternative to current silicone-based solar cells which are known to have a higher market price. "They are cheap and easy to produce," noted the press release. "And in just a few short years of development, perovskites have become almost as efficient as silicon at converting sunlight into electricity." Despite all the benefits this crystalline-structure compound brings to the world of solar energy, they are easily prone to defects. Known as "traps," these defects can literally trap electrons before energy is released.
