New Vapor Deposition Tech Could Accelerate Commercialization Of Perovskite Solar Cells
A U.S.-based team developed a vapor deposition technique to fabricate outperforming all-inorganic perovskite thin films in under 5 minutes in a continuous process. The adoption of the proposed approach may also result in higher perovskite solar cell power conversion efficiencies.

A team in the United States developed a new vapor deposition method using continuous flash sublimation (CFS) for all-inorganic perovskite absorbers, addressing the slow speed and non-continuous nature of batch processing. This technique allows for the continuous deposition of fully absorbing perovskite materials in less than five minutes. The researchers achieved high-performing solar cells, with efficiencies up to 14.3%.
