"fusing perovskite materials with an element called Ferrocene dramatically increases efficiency perovskite-based panels. The team found that this focus on the chemistry of solar panels, rather than other approaches that looked at mechanical and electrical components, produced the intended breakthrough... element within organometallic chemistry Ferrocene improves efficiency and stabilises drop in energy that all solar panels have over time... cheap to produce and solves water absorption problem"
