Building block made of perovskite ink is the goal in making solar cell. Although perovskite is not a new technology however, the current inks cannot guarantee seamless transitions at an industrial scale. This is because the manufacturing process must be extremely controlled and optimized.
In his paper published in Scientific Reports Dr Ehsan Razaee, a postdoctoral fellow at the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI), University of Surrey, explains the results of his research.
“Our perovskite Ink is a fast, reproducible method to reliably manufacture these solar cell building blocks at a large scale. This opens the door for its commercial use.”
Perovskite solar cell are lightweight, low-cost and easy to transport and install. This study examines the foundations of solar cells made from perovskite, rather than traditional silicon. Because perovskite solar cells harvest sunlight through the visible portion of the solar spectrum, they have more energy.
They want to make a progress in the growth of linking between production and research on the scale of mass industry as opportunity for the turning point in the future.
The University of Surrey, a world-class research institution, focuses on sustainability in society. This is to address the many climate change challenges. It also has a commitment to improve its resource efficiency and be a sector leader. Becoming Carbon neutral in 2030 is the commitment for this goal.It was ranked 55th by the Times Higher Education (THE), University Impact Rankings, in April. This ranking assesses the performance of more than 1,400 universities against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
