The key requirements to construct highly foldable solar cells, including structure design based on tuning the neutral axis plane, and adopting flexible alternatives including substrates, transparent electrodes and absorbers, are intensively discussed.
Recent progress of flexible organic solar cells has been comprehensively reviewed from the aspect of materials, large-scale fabrication techniques and potential applications. 1. Introduction Flexible electronics as emerging fields will be the key technologies that are related to our daily life in the future , .
Nature 617, 717–723 (2023) Cite this article Flexible solar cells have a lot of market potential for application in photovoltaics integrated into buildings and wearable electronics because they are lightweight, shockproof and self-powered. Silicon solar cells have been successfully used in large power plants.
To fabricate flexible solar cells, the approximately 2-mm-wide marginal region of these 60-μm textured wafers was blunted in 10 vol% HF:90 vol% HNO 3 solution for 90 s at room temperature. All wafers were cleaned using a standard RCA process to remove organics and metal ions.
Emerging PCEs of flexible solar cells in the literature. Bending cycles decreased the PCE of the perovskite cell from 21% to 17%. For comparison, the certified PCE in this study of a 244.3 cm 2 c-Si wafer is also displayed. The dashed line indicates an efficiency boundary of 20%.
Flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs) have gained more and more attention in a short period of time, attributing to their unique properties, which including being lightweight, and its flexibility, compatibility and stretchability with curved surfaces.
