Chico. Article on Perovskite, Calcium Titanium Oxide. Possible uses as Photovoltaic generating material. Wouldn't it be nice to see new use like this for titanium! Posting tonight or I will forget it in the morning!

snip....What in the world is perovskite? The term “ perovskite” refers to two substances: a calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate, and also the class of compounds that share the mineral’s unique crystal structure. The perovskites that hold such promising photovoltaic (PV), or solar energy-generating, properties are a group of human-made versions discovered in 2009 by Japanese scientist Tsutomu Miyasaka and colleagues. (Miyasaka was talked about in 2018 as a potential Nobel Prize recipient.) “These perovskites can absorb sunlight better than silicon,” says Stranks. “We can absorb almost all of the sunlight with a perovskite film that is at least a hundred times thinner than silicon.”
