Scientists build 17%-efficient semi-transparent perovskite solar cell based on sputter-resistant aluminum oxide layer

AI Summary

Scientists in Germany developed a 17%-efficient semi-transparent perovskite solar cell using a sputter-resistant aluminum oxide layer to enhance charge extraction and protect from damage. This innovation advances solar cell technology with increased durability and efficiency.

Researchers replaced the conventional 20 nm SnOₓ buffer layer with just 3 nm of ALD-deposited AlOₓ, which protected inverted perovskite cells from ITO sputtering damage while maintaining efficient charge extraction.
