As the world edges closer to perovskite solar cell (PSC) commercialization, state‐of‐the‐art materials and processes become publicized to a much lesser degree. From current insights into perovskite industry standards, slot‐die coating is the number one method for fabricating the perovskite layer. Other significant layers can be done using varying techniques. Hence, in this review article, all 115 existing slot‐die‐based PSC publications to date together with related literature are crystallized to set stages for future scalable perovskite research. Through investigation of the effects of materials, processes, and structures on performance, stability, and cost of slot‐die coating is presented. In the end, power output x operating lifetime per cost is the most influential factor for market consideration. The roll‐to‐roll compatibility of the slot‐die coating together with low‐cost materials and lean processes present a cost‐effective strategy for successful commercialization.

Resistive switching (RS) memories are novel devices that have attracted significant attention recently in view of their potential integration in deep neural networks for intense big data processing within the explosive artificial intelligence era. While oxide- or silicon-based memristive devices have been thoroughly studied and analyzed, there are alternative material technologies compatible with lower manufacturing cost and less environmental impact exhibiting RS characteristics, thus providing a versatile platform for specific in-memory computing and neuromorphic applications where sustainability is a priority. The manufacturing of these emerging RS technologies is based on solution-processed methods at low temperatures onto flexible substrates, and in some cases, the RS active layer is composed of natural, environmentally friendly materials replacing expensive deposition methods and critical raw and toxic materials. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of recent developments in the field of solution-processed and sustainable RS devices by providing insights into their fundamental properties and switching mechanisms, categorizing key figures of merit while showcasing representative use cases of applications of each material technology. The challenges and limitations of these materials for practical applications are analyzed along with suggestions to resolve these pending issues.

Recent Advancements on Slot-Die Coating of Perovskite Solar Cells: The Lab-to-Fab Optimisation Process

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are the most rapidly advancing photovoltaic technology in terms of power conversion efficiency. An efficiency of 26.1% was achieved in a decade, which is on par with the efficiency of very mature silicon panels. However, PSC commercialisation is partly hindered by the difficulty of scaling these devices without efficiency loss, mostly due to the increasing sheet resistance of the transparent conductive layer substrates and the nonuniformity of the layers when deposited across large areas. Therefore, it is crucial for the commercialisation of PSCs to implement easily scalable deposition processes with low material waste and compatibility with roll-to-roll (R2R) processes to reduce manufacturing costs. Slot-die coating can meet all these requirements, allowing for great uniformity over large areas. The most recent developments in PSC upscaling using slot-die coating as the main deposition process, along with its extension to the R2R process, are reviewed, including a thorough discussion of the slot-die coating process and the theory behind its operating limits. In fact, R2R coating is a very promising strategy for PSC industrialisation, since all processing steps use low-cost materials and scalable processes at temperatures lower than 120 °C, allowing the cost-effective and high-throughput production of PSC devices.
