To build on the success of other mineral systems employed in solar cells, including kesterites (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 ) and herzenbergite (SnS), as well as mineral-inspired systems such as lead halide perovskites (CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 ), we have searched for photoactive minerals with the additional constraint tha...
