Beyond Flat: Undulated Perovskite Solar Cells on Microscale Si Pyramids by Solution Processing

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Christian Michael Wolff, Mostafa Rabie Shlaly Bahr Othman, Deniz Türkay, Kerem Artuk

Microscale pyramids of silicon solar cells are often considered incompatible with solution-processed perovskite films. Thus, solution processing has mainly been used with submicron pyramids that are buried under thick perovskite films with flattened front ...

Template-Assisted Growth of CsxFA1-xPbI3 with Pulsed Laser Deposition for Single Junction Perovskite Solar Cells

Christian Michael Wolff, Kerem Artuk

Cesium-formamidinium lead iodide (CsxFA1-xPbI3) perovskites are a promising methylammonium-free alternative for efficient single-junction solar cells. However, they have not been fully explored by vapor-phase deposition techniques. Herein, a template-assis ...

Accelerating Optimization of Halide Perovskites: Two Blueprints for Automation

Christophe Ballif, Christian Michael Wolff, Daniel Anthony Jacobs

The fine-tuning of halide perovskite materials for both performance and stability calls for innovative tools that streamline high-throughput experimentation. Here, we present two complementary systems designed to accelerate the development of solution-proc ...

Enhancing lifetime, forecasting, and economic benefits of photovoltaic technologies undergoing UV-induced degradation with optical filtering

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Christian Michael Wolff, Marion Solange Madeleine Dussouillez

Ultraviolet-induced degradation (UV-ID) of various PV cell types was analyzed under optical UV filters with different cutoff wavelengths. Cell types studied included interdigitated back contact (IBC), passivated emitter and rear totally diffused (PERT), an ...

Making from Breaking: Degradation Inversion Enables Vapor-Phase Synthesis of Halide Perovskites in Ambient Conditions

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Christian Michael Wolff, Austin George Kuba, Mostafa Rabie Shlaly Bahr Othman, Kerem Artuk

Vapor phase deposition of formamidinium-rich perovskites is hampered by the decomposition of formamidine in the vapor phase. We use the reversibility of this reaction to establish a dynamic equilibrium that enables the vapor-phase synthesis of formamidiniu ...

Point contacts in halide perovskite solar cells: from reduced interfacial recombination to increased ionic field screening

Christian Michael Wolff

Inserting point contacts between the perovskite and C60 layers reduces the interfacial recombination. However, the accumulation of mobile ions at the point contacts can decrease the device stability. ...

Self-Aligned Silica Nanoparticle Rear Reflectors for Single-Junction Si and Perovskite-Si Tandem Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Christian Michael Wolff, Deniz Türkay, Kerem Artuk

Infrared light management is crucial to maximize the optical performance of crystalline Si-based single junction and tandem solar cells. For this end, a low refractive index dielectric is typically inserted under the rear metal and an electrical contact is ...
