Preface
This brief book results from the extensive work that has been done in my laboratory in the last 3 years. As will be discussed in this brief book, a breakthrough occurs in the photovoltaic (PV) field in the last 4 years. A new material called organo-metal halide perovskite (OMHP) entered the PV field. To be completely correct, the OMHP is not a new material and already in 1990s researchers around the world (mainly from Japan) worked on characterizing this material. But the main progress related to the PV field was made at 2012 as described in more detail in this book. This year was my last year as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Gratzel laboratory where I was one of the pioneering researchers working with this exciting material, which results in an early publication on the use of the OMHP as light harvester and hole conductor at the same time in the solar cell. Starting 2012 as established my current research group which have developed further the OMHP as a material and in a PV cell. Even though just 3–4 years past from the main breakthrough with this material, I think it is the
