Still, some scientists say perovskite could significantly improve solar energy.

尽管如此，一些科学家表示钙钛矿可以提升太阳能。

Thanks to new experi-mineral called perovskite.

这要归功于这种叫做钙钛矿的新矿物。

Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer.

马林发明了一种印刷钙钛矿面板的方法，就像喷墨打印机一样。

Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers.

马林说，钙钛矿在太阳能电池板的研究领域炙手可热。

This is the perovskite material completely synthesized from Earth abundant elements.

这是完全地球上丰富的元素合成的钙钛矿材料。

But perovskite have other exciting advantages too.

而钙钛矿还有其他令人兴奋的优点。

The advantage of the perovskite solar cell is that it can be lightweight and flexible.

用钙钛矿制成的太阳能电池，其优势在于：质量很轻，灵。

But perovskite may be able to help with that last problem because it could make solar panels more efficient.

但钙钛矿可能有助于解决最后的问题，因为它可以使太阳能电池板更有效率。

Oxford PV, a British company, is bringing some of the first perovskite solar cells to market.

英国牛津光伏公司将首批钙钛矿型太阳能电池推向市场。

What makes all this possible is an intriguing material called a perovskite.

使这一切成为可能的是一种叫做钙钛矿的有趣材料。

However, what works in one direction will often work in the other, and so it is with perovskites.

然而，在一个方向起作用的东西通常在另一个方向起作用，钙钛矿也是如此。

Researchers are finding a variety of roles for perovskites.

研究人员正在寻找钙钛矿的多种作用。

A new kind of flexible solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz.

有一种新型的柔性太阳能电池是一种名作钙钛矿的矿物质构成的，这类电池没有安装位置的限制，物理学家奥尔加·马林如是说道。

An array of tiny specks of perovskites could therefore work like a grid of LEDs in a display screen.

因此，钙钛矿的微小斑点阵列可以像显示屏上网格状的LED一样工作。

There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.

耐久性等问题还需要攻克，但一些公司已经打算今年在市场上出售这类电池板了。

This means that instead of converting sunlight into electricity, metal-halide perovskites can operate in reverse, by emitting light in response to an electric current.

这意味着金属卤化物钙钛矿可以反向工作，不需要将阳光转化为电能，而是可以通过发光来响应电流。

To produce such screens, Dr Hou and his team developed a way to bind tiny " nanocrystals" of lead-halide perovskites into a specially treated synthetic glass composite.

为了制造这种屏幕，侯博士和他的团队开发了一种方法，将微小的卤化铅钙钛矿“纳米晶体”结合到经过特殊处理的合成玻璃复合材料中。

The original perovskite, calcium titanium oxide, is a mineral discovered in the Ural mountains in 1839 and named after Count Lev Perovski, a Russian mineralogist.

最初的钙钛矿，钙钛氧化物，是1839年在乌拉尔山脉发现的一种矿物，以俄罗斯矿物学家列夫·钙夫斯基伯爵命名。

Dr Hou and his colleagues at the University of Queensland, in Australia, are among a number of researchers working on a group of materials called perovskites.

澳大利亚昆士兰大学的侯博士和他的同事们是钙钛矿材料的众多研究者之一。

The original perovskite was a mineral discovered in the Ural mountains, in Russia, in 1839, and named after Count Lev Perovski, a mineralogist from that country.

最初的钙钛矿是 1839 年在俄罗斯乌拉尔山脉发现的一种矿物，并以该国的矿物学家列夫·佩罗夫斯基伯爵的名字命名。
