Publication number: 20230420192Abstract: There is provided a method of producing a photovoltaic device comprising a photoactive region comprising a layer of perovskite material, wherein the layer of perovskite material is disposed on a surface that has a roughness average (Ra) or root mean square roughness (Rrms) of greater than or equal to 50 nm. The method comprises using vapour deposition to deposit a substantially continuous and conformal solid layer comprising one or more initial precursor compounds of the perovskite material, and subsequently treating the solid layer with one or more further precursor compounds to form a substantially continuous and conformal solid layer of the perovskite material on the rough surface. There is also provided a photovoltaic device comprising a photoactive region comprising a layer of perovskite material disposed using the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Brett Akira KAMINO, Laura Miranda PEREZ

Publication number: 20230223205Abstract: A multi-junction photovoltaic device comprising a layer of metal oxynitride between a first sub-cell and a second sub-cell is disclosed, the first sub-cell having a layer comprising a perovskite light absorber material. In addition, a method of manufacturing said multi junction photovoltaic device is disclosed. The metal oxynitride is preferably titanium oxynitride. Advantageously, the device may be produced in a simple, fast, consistent and inexpensive manner, whilst the properties of the titanium oxynitride layer may be tuned to avoid the occurrence of local shunt paths and to reduce reflection losses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Simon KIRNER, Laura MIRANDA PEREZ, Immo KOETSCHAU, Henry SNAITH, Edward CROSSLAND, Christopher CASE, Alan SHARP
