Organic-Inorganic Semiconductors Demonstrate Enhanced Charge Transfer

— EPFL scientists have made significant progress in the development of hybrid layered organic-inorganic perovskite semiconductors by incorporating novel spacer cations, according to a recent scientific paper published in the journal Chem. Sci. This advance gives promise to addressing the strong dielectric and quantum confinement effects typically encountered in layered perovskite materials, allowing for improved charge-transfer capabilities.
