Perovskite photovoltaics. Perovskite solar cells, especially those based on methylammonium lead triiodide, have seen unprecedented progress in recent years. This issue of MRS Bulletin overviews perovskite photovoltaics. The articles highlight various deposition methods of perovskite absorbers, vaporassisted solution process techniques, as well as hole-transporting materialfree perovskite solar cells. The cover shows a schematic representation of a perovskite solar-cell architecture for solar energy conversion into electricity. The three-dimensional perovskite materials are deposited using various methods and sandwiched between two electrodes, which concurrently act as a light absorber and an electron and hole transporter, generating power-conversion effi ciency exceeding 20% under 1 sun illumination. See the technical theme that begins on page 641.
