The commercial success of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) depends on transitioning from lab-scale fabrication to high-throughput, low-cost manufacturing. Roll-to-roll (R2R) processing presents an ideal route, offering continuous production with reduced material waste. However, the shift from batch processing to fully inline deposition introduces challenges in coating uniformity, interlayer compatibility and defect control. These issues must be addressed to unlock the full potential of perovskites for industrial-scale photovoltaics.
This talk will provide a broad overview of R2R deposition strategies for PSCs, focusing on SnO₂ electron transport layers, PEDOT and SAM-based hole transport layers, perovskite absorber layers, P3HT, and solution-processed carbon electrodes. A key emphasis will be on scalable approaches to layer deposition, particularly slot-die coating, and how solvent engineering and interfacial adhesion strategies can overcome the challenges of high-speed perovskite module fabrication. Recent advancements in fully solution-processed electrode deposition will also be discussed, particularly the replacement of evaporated metal contacts with carbon-based alternatives, demonstrating a pathway toward fully printed, low-cost, and highly stable PSCs.
Looking ahead, building on our existing work on registration-based interconnects, we aim to explore laser-patterned interconnects as a route to improving module performance while reducing processing complexity. The next steps also include integrating real-time quality control and inline lamination of encapsulation layers to further enhance the scalability and long-term stability of R2R perovskite module manufacturing. These developments will be critical for bridging the gap between laboratory-scale advances and commercially viable roll-to-roll perovskite solar production.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
