Metal halide perovskites are at the forefront of next-generation optoelectronics due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties and ease of processing. However, challenges in scalability, stability, and process reproducibility remain critical barriers to their commercial adoption. In this work, we present the baseline we established for slot-die coated perovskite solar cells in the HySPRINT lab of HZB for small area test cells reaching up to 22% PCE collaboratively. We recently established a digital workflow collecting most relevant data regarding the fabrication of solar cells as well as their performance in the research data management platform NOMAD. We demonstrate how digital tools can greatly enhance intra-lab collaboration and will showcase how these kind of platforms can also be used for research data sharing by the wider research community.
We demonstrate the integration of in-situ process monitoring techniques, such as photoluminescence, during slot-die coating. These tools provide immediate feedback on critical parameters, including film thickness, drying kinetics, and phase evolution, enabling precise control over film quality and reproducibility. Data is complemented by in-situ process monitoring experiments using GIWAXS at the BESSY synchrotron.
Finally, we present an example of the fabrication of perovskite solar cell mini-modules using scalable methods, achieving efficiencies exceeding 20% with enhanced stability under operational conditions. The insights gained from these studies pave the way for the large-scale manufacturing of stable and efficient perovskite devices, addressing key technological challenges and supporting the field’s transition from laboratory to market.
