Can encapsulation protect metal halide perovskite solar cells?

To overcome the barrier of the commercialization of metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), a simple, cost-effective, and multifunctional encapsulation strategy that protects perovskite solar cells under real-world conditions is strongly needed.

How to encapsulate solar panels?

No encapsulation was performed at the top sides of solar modules. The PSC is completely covered by 20–50 μm of shellac, which is prepared by spraying or dripping method. After that, using hot blow to speed up the evaporation of the ethanol. The shellac is then covered with glass by heat pressing to enhance the packaging.

What is a perovskite solar cell?

Perovskite solar cells with atomically coherent interlayers on SnO2 electrodes. Perovskite-organic tandem solar cells with indium oxide interconnect. Constructing heterojunctions by surface sulfidation for efficient inverted perovskite solar cells. Development of encapsulation strategies towards the commercialization of perovskite solar cells.

How efficient are silicon solar cells?

In recent years, as the dominant technology for photovoltaic power generation, the efficiency of silicon solar cells has reached a record high of 26.81% 12.

How does non-radiative recombination affect the performance of perovskite solar cells?

Non-radiative recombination of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) will increase as a result of the numerous crystallographic defects that the solution-grown perovskite films will cause, particularly at the grain boundary and film surface. As a result, it negatively influences the performance of the device.

What is encapsulation of solar cells?

Encapsulation of commercial and emerging solar cells with focus on perovskite solar cells. Encapsulation of printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells enables high temperature and long-term outdoor stability. Adv. Funct.
