Apparently contradictory statements about the efficiency of stated bismuth oxyiodide (perovskite analogue) solar cells, now is it 80% conversion of light to charge, or is it 22% theoretical value, and the 80% is of the 22% that is the maximum possible?

Please learn to write in plain English.

No, I only had time for the blurb Mr. anonymous, and the blurb did not say quantum efficiency. It just said 88%.

To be fair, the paper doesn't really say the same thing as is claimed here. The paper says up to 80% quantum efficiency for monochromatic illumination, while this blurb claims 80% of the light converted to electricity.

Thank you! It is hell to argue with a Dutchman, most times.
