Metal halide perovskites constitute a very attractive class of materials for photovoltaic applications. Power conversion efficiencies of these devices exceeded 25% for a single junction architecture. Recently, multijunction all-perovskite solar cells also attracted a lot of attention, as they provide a way to further increase the efficiency values.
In this work, we demonstrate a scalable processing of perovskite photovoltaic devices, which can be combined into a four-terminal tandem PV architecture. For that reason, we optimized a blade-coating process of high- and low-bandgap perovskite thin films, and developed a robust lamination protocol. The laminated tandem minimodules (50 cm2 active area), fabricated on a flexible plastic foil, reach 15.3% of power conversion efficiency, and exhibit good stability at different aging conditions (indoor heat test and outdoor operational test).
