A weak type of attraction between molecules that involves a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) and another nearby electronegative atom. In this context, it's used as an additive to stabilize perovskite materials.

A new type of solar cell that uses lead and other common elements to generate electricity. These cells are cheaper than conventional silicon cells, require lower manufacturing temperatures, and have reached 19% efficiency.
