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。

But perovskite have other exciting advantages too.

而钙钛矿还有其他令人兴奋的优点。

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

这是完全由地球上丰富的元素合成的钙钛矿材料。

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

马林凯维奇发明了一种印刷钙钛矿面板的方法，就像喷墨打印机一样。

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，灵活度高。

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

马林凯维奇说，钙钛矿在太阳能电池板的研究领域炙手可热。

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

英津光伏公司将首批钙钛矿型太阳能电池推向市场。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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由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·马林凯维奇如是说道。

We can go way farther with solar, with perovskites, with multi-exciton technologies like supermolecules we can double or even triple the output.

我们可以通过太阳能、钙钛矿、超分子等多激子技术走得更远，我们可以将输出增加一倍甚至三倍。

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。

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。

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。

Much of the interest in perovskites comes because those which combine metal atoms with chlorine, bromine or iodine (members of a group of elements called halogens) are semiconductors.

人们对钙钛矿的兴趣很大，因为那些将金属原子与氯、溴或碘（卤素元素组的成员）结合在一起就是半导体。

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，并以该的矿物学家列夫·佩罗夫斯基伯爵的名字命名。
