Efficient flexible perovskite solar cells and modules were developed using a combination of SnO2 and mesoporous-TiO2 as a fully solution-processed electron transport layer (ETL). Cells using such ETLs delivered a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.8%, which was 30% higher than the PCE of cells with only SnO2 …
Flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) have emerged as potential candidates for specific mechanical applications owing to their high foldability, efficiency, and portability. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of f-PSC remains limited by the inferior contact between perovskite and flexible buried substrate.

For the first time, large-area, flexible organic–inorganic tin perovskite solar modules are fabricated by means of an industry-compatible and scalable blade-coating technique. An 8-cell interconnected mini module with dimensions of 25 cm2 (active area = 8 × 1.5 cm2) reached 5.7% power conversion efficiency under 1000 W/m2 (AM 1.5G) and 9.4% under …
Photovoltaics: Materials, Cells and Modules "With the development of perovskite silicon multi-junction solar cells, we are opening the door to the next generation of photovoltaics." Dr. Alexander Bett, postdoc, and Dr. Patricia Schulze, deputy head of group
Single-cell and four-cell (2 strings × 2 columns) test solar cell modules were fabricated using the standard process used for glass-covered solar cell modules. We used commercially available 156 × 156 mm 2 c-Si solar cells — specifically multi-crystalline Al back surface field (Al-BSF) structured solar cells — in each sample.
Flexibility is the most prominent advantage of organic solar cells (OSCs) compared with traditional photovoltaic devices, showing an irreplaceable commercial potential. Currently, the maximum power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of single-junction OSCs have been over 19% and 16% upon rigid and flexible substrates, respectively, …
