  • Methods for forming a perovskite solar cell
    Patent number: 10950794
    Abstract: A perovskite thin film and method of forming a perovskite thin film are provided. The perovskite thin film includes a substrate, a hole blocking/electron transport layer, and a sintered perovskite layer. The method of forming the perovskite solar cell includes depositing a perovskite layer onto a substrate and processing (for example, by sintering) the perovskite layer with intense pulsed light to initiate a radiative thermal response that is enabled by an alkyl halide additive.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 18, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 16, 2021
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.
    Inventors: Thad Druffel, Brandon Lavery, Krishnamraju Ankireddy, Amir Hossein Ghahremani, Blake Martin, Gautam Gupta
