TANDEM SOLAR CELLS

Perovskites cover silicon textures

Nature Materials volume 17, pages 751–752 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

A two-step deposition method has been developed that enables the conformal coating of textured surfaces with perovskite films. This allows the realization of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells with increased short-circuit current density.
