ADVANCED PHOTOVOLTAICS
2.3.2 Stable Perovskite Cells and Modules
-
Develop a hierarchy of basic stability test (elevated temperature or/and light exposure) procedures to allow rapid assessment of perovskite cells.
-
Develop new characterisation and modelling methods to distinguish cause of instability
-
Designing new cell designs and modify fabrication techniques for improved stability.
-
Develop low cost, low temperature glass-glass encapsulation techniques with hermetic electric feedthroughs.
The anticipated outcome of these activities is perovskite cells and modules that pass the full IEC 61215 standard tests while maintaining very high efficiencies. As a stretch goal, additional or alternative testing protocols to the current IEC61215 standards will be developed with institutional and industry partners to address the specific stability challenges facing perovskite technology.
