Stigma and Mental Illness. Stigma has been defined as an attribute that is deeply discrediting.1 This stigmatized trait sets the bearer apart from the rest of society, bringing with it feelings of shame and isolation.
The performance of metal halide perovskite solar cells has made rapid increases in energy conversion efficiency, improving from under 4% efficiency in 2010 to a record efficiency of 22% in 2016. Because of the high absorption coefficient, a thickness of only about 500 nm is needed to absorb solar energy.
Important to this invention is that the perovskite, described below as alumina-based perovskite or ABP, can be formed in-situ by the addition of lanthanide to a variety of transitional aluminas and subsequent heating at relatively low temperatures to yield a porous, high surface area dual phase composition in which the perovskite is dispersed within alumina and is present in amounts of at least 9 wt. % of the composition.
