What are vapor-deposited perovskites?

Vapor-deposited perovskites are particularly versatile for the fabrication of multi-layer stacks, and open the possibility to alternatives such as perovskite-perovskite tandems (unpractical with solution-processed methods) and integration onto irregular structures (such as textured silicon solar cells).

Are vapor-deposited perovskite solar cells effective?

Perovskite solar cells have emerged as a promising frontier in the realm of renewable energy due to their notable attributes of high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This study delves into the intricate domain of vapor-deposited perovskite solar cells with the primary objective of optimizing their performance through advanced predictive modeling.

Does vapor deposited perovskite affect the bandgap of tandem solar cells?

However, the above studies do not adjust the bandgap of vapor deposited perovskite in the fabrication of tandem solar cells. Fig. 7. The tandem device combines with vapor deposited perovskite.

Are perovskite solar cells scalable?

The recent sky-rocketing performance of perovskite solar cells has triggered a strong interest in further upgrading the fabrication techniques to meet the scalability requirements of the photovoltaic industry.

Are vapor-based processes useful for semiconducting perovskites?

In view of the above, it is clear that vapor-based processes constitute invaluable tools for the preparation of semiconducting perovskites, allowing one to tune the composition and access a wide spectrum of morphologies in terms of crystallinity, and in particular of grain size (Figure 2).

How do vapor deposition and solution affect the growth of perovskite thin films?

Solution and vapor deposition are two major synthesis routes for growth of high-quality perovskite thin films. In the past 10 years, there is a lot of researches on the growth mechanism of solution process, and now the components of perovskite films can be accurately controlled by a certain stoichiometric ratio in precursor solution.
