A general approach to developing semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST-PSCs) is to use a transparent metal oxide to replace opaque metal electrodes. However, the performance of such solar cells, unlike that of those using evaporated metal electrodes, deteriorates due to insufficient conductivity of the metal oxide, etc. Herein, a femtosecond laser patterning method is proposed to achieve the efficiency and transparency of ST-PSCs with a typical metal electrode and facilitates the control of transmittance by varying the opening ratio. While providing average visible transmittance > 46%, a certified power conversion efficiency of 8.22% was attained, which outperformed state-of-the-art ST-PSCs reported to date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
