Perovskite is calcium titanium oxide or calcium titanate, with the chemical formula CaTiO3. The mineral was discovered by Gustav Rose in 1839 and is named after Russian mineralogist Count Lev Alekseevich Perovski (1792–1856).” All materials with the same crystal structure as CaTiO3, namely ABX3, are termed perovskites:

Conducting Layered Organic-inorganic Halides Containing <110>-Oriented Perovskite Sheets D. B. Mitzi, S. Wang, C. A. Feild, C. A. Chess, A. M. Guloy IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Post Office Box 218, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA. Department of Chemistry and Texas Center for Superconductivity, University of Houston, Houston, TX 77204-5641, USA. Science 10 March 1995: Vol. 267 no. 5203 pp. 1473-1476 DOI: 10.1126/science.267.5203.1473
Abstract Single crystals of the layered organic-inorganic perovskites, [NH2C(I=NH2]2(CH3NH3)m SnmI3m+2, were prepared by an aqueous solution growth technique. In contrast to the recently discovered family, (C4H9NH3)2(CH3NH3)n-1SnnI3n+1, which consists of (100)-terminated perovskite layers, structure determination reveals an unusual structural class with sets of m <110>-oriented CH3NH3SnI3 perovskite sheets separated by iodoformamidinium cations. Whereas the m = 2 compound is semiconducting with a band gap of 0.33 ± 0.05 electron volt, increasing m leads to more metallic character. The ability to control perovskite sheet orientation through the choice of organic cation demonstrates the flexibility provided by organic-inorganic perovskites and adds an important handle for tailoring and understanding lower dimensional transport in layered perovskites.

Charge Transport
Charge extraction must faster in perovskite “sensitized” than Dye (D102) Sensitized. Is the perovskite also conducting charge in the solar cells?

Grain boundaries in thin film solar cells
L. M . Woods et al. NREL, Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion; 6-10 July 1998; Vienna, Austria
CdTe
A lot of electrons get trapped at the grain boundary, which introduces a lot of losse
“CIGS the wonder material” has ~ 100meV barrier at grain boundaries
