Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- A research team led by Seong Sik Shin at SKKU, with KRICT and UC San Diego, reports a liquid-assisted crystal growth method for perovskites.
- The method reduces defects in perovskite materials used in solar cells and LEDs.
- The source reports the work targets more efficient solar cells and LEDs.

## Why it matters

Defects limit the efficiency and stability of perovskite devices, so methods that reduce them bear on the practical development of next-generation solar cells and LEDs.
