Organometal Halide Perovskites as Visible-Light Sensitizers for Photovoltaic Cells

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009 · paper · Materials

Examines lead halide perovskites, CH3NH3PbBr3 and CH3NH3PbI3, as light absorbers on titanium dioxide in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The iodide cell converted sunlight at 3.8% efficiency, and the bromide cell gave a photovoltage of 0.96 V.

Reference or label The author list of reference 10 is printed as "Henry, J.; Snaith, A. J.; Moule, C. K.; Meerholz, K.; Friend, R. H.; Grätzel, M. Nano Lett. 2007, 7, 3372–3376". Given names and surnames appear shifted between authors.
  • p. 2 Reference 10
    Henry, J.; Snaith, A. J.; Moule, C. K.; Meerholz, K.; Friend, R. H.; Gra¨tzel,
  • p. 2 Reference 10
    Henry, J.; Snaith, A. J.; Moule, C. K.; Meerholz, K.
  • p. 2 Reference 10
    Henry, J.; Snaith, A. J.; Moule, C. K.;

Only the authors can say what is right here.

Judge's note: Rests on outside knowledge: the real author list of Nano Lett. 2007, 7, 3372 (Snaith, H. J.; Moulé, A. J.; Klein, C.; Meerholz, K.; Friend, R. H.; Grätzel, M.). The page 2 image shows the garbled text exactly as quoted, so this is not an extraction artefact. 'Henry' as a surname followed by 'Snaith, A. J.' looks like a shifted list, but the correct list cannot be checked against the files.

Reference or label Reference 4(g) is printed as "Appl. Phys. Lett. 1995, 626, 349–351". Volume 626 is implausible for this journal in 1995.
  • p. 2 Reference 4(g)
    Appl. Phys. Lett. 1995, 626, 349–351

Only the authors can say what is right here.

Judge's note: Rests on outside knowledge: Appl. Phys. Lett. was at volumes 66-67 in 1995, and the Hoyer/Könenkamp paper is in vol. 66. The page 2 image shows '626'. Other Appl. Phys. Lett. entries in the same list use two-digit volumes (91), which supports a typo.

1 minor (typos and the like; most checked by the judge only)
Typo Reference 2 reads "Islam, A; Watanabe, Y.;" and "Jpn. J. Appl. Phys 2006"; the periods are missing after the initial 'A' and after 'Phys'.
  • p. 2 Reference 2
    Islam, A; Watanabe, Y.;
  • p. 2 References, entry 2
    Jpn. J. Appl. Phys 2006

Judge's note: The page image confirms both missing periods; every other entry in the list uses them.

Second check: none (judge only)
