Perovskite Solar Cells for the Generation of Fuels from Sunlight

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Organic-Inorganic Halide Perovskite Photovoltaics

Abstract

Fossil fuels are finite energy resources, and their burning causes air pollution and emits large amount of CO2, leading to global warming. This urges the search for green and sustainable energy sources.
