De-risking Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

closed

This core PV support project will examine critical materials, integration, and device issues required to propel the development of halide perovskite solar cells (HPSC) technologies. This project will use a scientific approach to understand the roadblocks and risks associated with commercializing HPSC technologies, including any challenges to fully scalable manufacturing and long lifetime field operation. This project will focus on stability research to better understand mechanisms that cause degradation and failure in HSPC and develop device stability acceleration factors that can be applied across relevant halide perovskite materials for PV and associated device architectures. This work will be device-centric but have a materials-driven emphasis in order to overcome the efficiency, stability, and scalability challenges preventing HPSC from reaching $.03 per kilowatt-hour by 2030.
