Abstract:
A recent model of iodide-ion conduction in methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) is discussed. Issues include the low activation barrier of vacancy migration and the high diffusivities of iodine vacancies and interstitials. Comparisons are also made with the behaviour of point defects in the oxide perovskite SrTiO3.

The equation that describes the equilibrium between solid calcium carbonate and its solvated ions is:
Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
