Flexible perovskite solar cells are lightweight, bendable, and applicable to curved surfaces. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has become the substrate of choice compared other plastic substrates like polyethylene naphthalate. PET is not only stable but also much cheaper manufacture, an important factor for photovoltaics (PV). Herein, highly efficient devices on demonstrated using a dual low‐temperature (≤100 °C) approach, first by anion mixing (replacing I with Br) lead‐containing...
Abstract The market for polycarbonate (PC), a versatile material, is growing rapidly. Despite its widespread use in many applications, poor chemical resistance and roughness have hindered adoption as substrate solar cell technologies. Here, the first‐ever perovskite (PSC) demonstrated on PC films. A solution‐processed planarizing layer developed using commercial ambient‐curable refractory resin through blade coating which decreased film from 1.46 µm to 23 nm, lowered water vapor transmission...
Solar energy conversion is an object of continuous research, focusing on improving the efficiency as well structure photovoltaic cells. With efficiencies continuously increasing, state-of-the-art PV cells offer a good solution to harvest solar energy. However, they are still lacking flexibility and conformability be integrated into common objects or clothing. Moreover, many sun-exposed surface areas textile-based such garments, tents, truck coverings, boat sails, home outdoor textiles. Here,...
Flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs) are ideal for indoor applications due to their lightweight and bendable nature. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the preferred substrate its cost-effectiveness chemical stability. Our study presents highly efficient FPSCs on PET with two optimizations: anion mixing of composition interfacial engineering using tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB). This approach results in high efficiencies 28.9% at $230 \pm 30$ lx a record 32.5% $1150\pm 150$ lx. The...
