Perovskite solar cells have enormous potential to change the global energy landscape. There are still several major issues preventing their commercialization, though. To address these issues we must understand not only the behavior of these materials, but also their underlying causes.
In the past few years, organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite solar cells have shown to be an excellent candidate for the next generation photovoltaic cell, with certified power conversion efficiencies obtained 25.2%. In LSPM, one of our major field of research is to investigate fundamental aspects as well as pursued high efficiency and good stability perovskite solar cells (PSCs), such as developing advanced stable and sustainable materials for ETL and HTL, introducing interface engineering, applying carbon-based electrodes as alternative electrode for the standard expensive Au-electrode, etc. Besides, another challenge for the PSC market now is to transfer this technique from small cell scale to a large-area and low-cost manufacturing on module scale. Therefore, our group is also interested in some scaling up techniques, such as inkjet printing, flash infrared annealing (FIRA), utilizing flexible substrate to replace regular glass, etc.
Besides, we are also interested in highly efficient and stable inorganic perovskite solar cells. We mainly focus on the element doping, interface modification, novel HTMs and the development of new technology and the exploration of other new materials in this field.
