Perovskites: uses in research

Also: halide perovskite, perovskite oxide

Perovskite is a mineral whose crystal arrangement has inspired a whole family of synthetic materials. Halide perovskites have produced cheap, highly efficient solar cells and LEDs, while perovskite oxides are used as catalysts.
