Abstract

Adaptability, lightweight, and low cost of materials make flexible perovskite solar cells essential for the perovskite technology to breach commercial photovoltaic markets. Roll-to-roll manufacturing has great potential for high-throughput perovskite manufacturing; however, conventional annealing methods are not capable of producing flexible perovskite solar cells at scale. Conventional methods are time consuming and may compromise functionality of flexible substrates under tension. Here, we introduce a blade-coated perovskite thin film on flexible ITO-coated PET annealed via rapid thermal annealing (RTA) that reduces post-deposition processing time from ~150 s to ~14 s. Performance was not sacrificed for scalability as a perovskite solar cell was produced with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.58%.
