[perovskites] – Scientists fabricate high-performance large-area perovskite submodules for solar cells
14 November 2023
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising solar technologies. Although low-cost wet processing has shown advantages in small-area PSC fabrication, the preparation of uniform charge transport layers with thickness of several nanometers from solution for meter-sized large area products is still challenging.
