PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELLS
Subcategory (under Clean Energy): Solar (PV)
Technology Readiness Level (TRL): TRL 4 - Early prototype
Technology Outline (Process Description)
- One important aspect in the field of perovskite solar cells is the fabrication of pin-hole free and uniform perovskite films on a large scale, along with stability improvement. Achieving pin-hole free films is crucial as even small defects or gaps in the perovskite layer can lead to significant loss in device performance. Large-scale fabrication is essential for commercial viability and scalability of perovskite solar cell technology.
- Investigating charge carrier dynamics is a crucial step in understanding the fundamental processes occurring within perovskite solar It involves studying how charges, such as electrons and holes, move and recombine within the device. This knowledge helps identify key factors influencing charge transport, recombination rates, and overall device efficiency.
- The ultimate goal in perovskite solar cell research is the fabrication of highly efficient, stable, and reproducible devices. Stability is crucial to ensure that the devices maintain their performance over extended periods, even under varying environmental conditions. Enhancing the stability of perovskite films ensures long-term functionality and durability of the solar cells, making them more suitable for real-world applications.
