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 ...

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 ...
