Interlayer Additives for Perovskite-based Photovoltaic Devices
Case ID:
TEC2016-0147
Web Published:
5/19/2016

Executive Summary
Photovoltaic devices directly convert solar energy into direct current electricity. Perovskite solar cells are receiving growing attention for large-scale commercial production..
Description of Technology
Halide perovskite materials are a promising candidate for low-cost and efficient solar photovoltaic applications. A loss of stability can occur when crystal defects are formed during perovskite growth. This technology is a new method of developing highly efficient and stable perovskite-based photovoltaic devices.
Key Benefits
- Improved device stability: prevents formation of crystal defects that lead to loss in stability
- High efficiency: perovskite materials have a power conversion efficiency of over 20%
- Low cost: perovskite materials are used for the production of low cost photovoltaic devices
Applications
- Design of photovoltaic devices
