In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) commonly made from hybrid lead halide-based materials have attracted significant attention due to their potential for the fabrication of high efficiency and low-cost devices. Even though their application allows us for making high-efficiency solar cells via solution processing with power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of over 25.7%, traditional Perovskite solar cell preparation methods like spin-coating are not suitable for large-scale fabrication. Noncontact ink-jet printing offers a scalable, cost-efficient deposition technique for the fabrication of the PSCs on a wide range of substrates. However, the complicated crystallization nature of perovskite in the ambient environment and low humidity resistance makes their fabrication a challenging process. In this work, we fabricate and optimize ink-jet printed multi-cation PSCs in ambient environmental conditions on various substrates like conductive glass, metal foils, ceramic tiles etc. The performance of these Ink-jet printed PSCs are compared with that of PSCs fabricated using spin coating both in the ambient and Nitrogen environment.
