  • SOLAR CELL COMPRISING A METAL-OXIDE BUFFER LAYER AND METHOD OF FABRICATION
    Publication number: 20220367739
    Abstract: A perovskite-based solar cell comprising a transparent electrode disposed on a buffer layer that protects the perovskite from damage during the deposition of the electrode is disclosed. The buffer material is deposited using either low-temperature atomic-layer deposition, chemical-vapor deposition, or pulsed chemical-vapor deposition. In some embodiments, the perovskite material is operative as an absorption layer in a multi-cell solar-cell structure. In some embodiments, the perovskite material is operative as an absorption layer in a single-junction solar cell structure.
    Type: Application
