Perovskite Hybrid Deposition on Silicon IBC Cells for 3-Terminal Tandem Devices
Master projects/internships - Genk | More than two weeks ago
Why settle for 2, when you can have 3 terminals?
This project aims to develop and refine the deposition of perovskite layers on silicon interdigitated back contact (IBC) cells using either a hybrid approach, spin coating and/or blade coating to create advanced 3-terminal (3T) tandem devices. By investigating innovative deposition techniques, we strive to achieve high-quality, defect-free perovskite layers with excellent coverage and stability.
The research will involve:
- Developing perovskite deposition for tandem solar cells on silicon IBC cells.
- Utilizing standard characterization techniques, such as JV, EQE, and dark measurements, along with reflection and transmission analysis of the top cell.
- Examining the stress development and defect formation in the perovskite layers.
