print perovskite solar cells could streamline the scale-up of the technology

Our team demonstrated the roll-to-roll production of series-connected [solar] modules for the first time and achieved a significant increase in the record efficiency of solution-processed solar cell

perovskite layers and other components are printed onto the substrate sequentially

main challenge is to ensure that each layer dries and settles completely before the next layer is deposited

printed all the interlayers, including the components for electron and hole transport and both the carbon and silver electrodes

roll-to-roll printed perovskite cells exhibit efficiencies of up to 15.5% for small-area [devices] and 11% for large-area modules

roll-to-roll printed perovskite cells exhibit efficiencies of up to 15.5% for small-area [devices] and 11% for large-area modules

With these parameters, the predicted cost could come in at 70 cents (55p) per watt
