A perspective article written by researchers from the CNR-IMM is highlighted in the front cover of the latest issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (Volume 9, Number 11). The article discusses the principal degradation mechanisms of CH₃NH₃PbI₃, a hybrid perovskite material with a remarkable potential for solar energy conversion. The paper is a result of the long-term collaboration between the IMM and the Toin University of Yokohama in Japan. For more information, see:
