Title: Toward new perovskites solar cells and minimodules

Abstract

Metal-halide perovskites are one of the most promising active materials for optoelectronics applications such as photovoltaic, light-emitting technologies, and X-ray detectors, thanks to their excellent optoelectronic properties and thin films fabrication versatility. In the photovoltaic domain, in less than 10 years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.5% and an increasingly growing operational stability. The rapid progress has triggered the interest in transferring the existing technology from the typical laboratory small area perovskite solar cells into large area solar modules necessary for their industrial applications and building-integrated photovoltaics. In this talk, we will give an overview of the recent research activities on halide perovskite materials, from the synthesis to their optical and electrical properties and finally to their integration in solar cells. We will present also different technologies explored to scale them up over large areas.
