In 2012, we reported the first solid-state halide perovskite solar cell, introducing a concept that was far from obvious at the time. This Perspective revisits how that idea emerged, the experimental path that led to it, and how the field evolved from those early results. It also helps clarify aspects of the early history that have become blurred over time.

Humbled and honored to be selected as one of the "2025 Rising Stars in ACS Organic & Inorganic Au". Grateful to my students, collaborators, and mentors whose creativity and dedication make our work possible. #ACSPublications #ACSOrganic&InorganicAu #RisingStars2025 #Innovation
Are Phosphonium-based metal halide semiconductors (MHS) the next step in the structural evolution of conventional ammonium-based MHS? Evidently, yes! permanent water stability, improved thermal stability and tunable redox properties! @ACSPublications

We thought metal halide semiconductors had shown us everything—until now. Our new biocompatible PMHS materials can mitigate K. brevis HABs with performance rivaling current chemical agents.
