Novel perovskite material with a special structure can generate hydrogen without cocatalyst

Description

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite can be used in photocatalytic hydrogen generation. However, the traditional lead-based perovskite contains the toxic metal lead, therefore its application is hindered. Recently, a joint research team led by a scientist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has achieved a breakthrough in fabricating a novel lead-free perovskite material with a special structure.
