High-efficiency perovskite solar cell with improved electron collection interface through surface treatment of metal oxide electron collectors. The treatment creates hydrophilic surface groups on the metal oxide collector surface, enhancing interfacial bonding between the collector and perovskite light absorber. This surface modification enables efficient electron collection through improved wetting properties of the perovskite layer.

48. Multi-Layer Perovskite Conversion Method for Solar Cell Fabrication with Metal Oxide Electron Transport Layer

UNIV SHIGA PREFECTURE, 2016

A solar cell manufacturing method that enables cost-effective production of high-efficiency solar cells through optimized multi-layer perovskite conversion. The method employs a multi-layer approach where a transparent substrate is prepared, followed by the deposition of a metal oxide-based electron transport layer. The substrate is then modified with a perovskite material in a gap between the metal oxide layers, where the perovskite material undergoes multiple spin coating cycles to achieve optimal conversion efficiency. This multi-layer architecture enables precise control over the perovskite material thickness and doping levels, resulting in improved conversion efficiency compared to traditional single-layer approaches.

49. Solar Cells Incorporating Layered 2D Perovskite Light-Absorbing Layer Formed by One-Step Spin-Coating

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY, 2015

Solar cells with improved light absorption using 2D perovskite materials. The cells employ a layered 2D perovskite structure as the light-absorbing layer, which achieves higher absorption compared to conventional 1D perovskites. The layered structure enables efficient light absorption through enhanced exciton separation, while maintaining stability under ambient conditions. The perovskite layer is formed through a one-step spin-coating process, eliminating the need for complex thermal evaporation or multistep deposition.

50. Spin-Coating Method for Perovskite Solar Cell Fabrication Using Sequential Solution Application

UNIV NAT CENTRAL, 2015

A method for preparing perovskite solar cells using a spin-coated perovskite active layer without the need for vacuum deposition or expensive evaporator equipment. The process involves applying a solution containing the perovskite precursor to a substrate, followed by a second solution containing the perovskite material to form the active layer. The active layer is then transferred to a substrate with a conductive material, where a hole or electron transport layer is deposited. This approach enables the fabrication of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells with precise control over the perovskite material properties.
