In this article, important properties of methylammonium lead iodide responsible for its success as a solar-cell material are discussed. We deliberate upon the rationale behind structural stability of perovskite, its suitable optical properties, low exciton binding energy, solution processability, high mobility, defect tolerance and low recombination loss, which have made the material truly special and unique.

We deliberate upon the rationale behind structural stability of perovskite, its suitable optical properties, low exciton binding energy, solution processability, high mobility, defect tolerance and low recombination loss, which have made the material truly special and unique.
