Halide‐Diffusion‐Assisted Perovskite Lamination Process for Semitransparent Perovskite Solar Cells

Semitransparent perovskite solar cells (PSCs) efficiently absorb light from both front and rear sides under illumination, and hence, PSCs have the potential for use in applications requiring bifacial or tandem solar cells. A facile method to fabricate semitransparent PSCs involves preparing a perovskite (PVSK) film on two transparent substrates and then laminating the substrates together. However, realizing high-performance laminated semitransparent PSCs is challenging because the imperfect contact at the PVSK interlayer results in void formation and partial degradation of PVSK. To address this issue, a halide-diffusion-assisted lamination (HDL) method is proposed. In the method, a controlled halide concentration gradient is used to effectively laminate the top and bottom PVSK layers. Semitransparent PSCs prepared through the HDL method (hereafter referred to as HDL-PSCs) exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.93%. In particular, an HDL-PSC exhibited higher thermal stability, maintaining its initial PCE for over 1200 h at 85 °C.
