A Facile Approach for the Encapsulation of Perovskite Solar Cells

Yibo Xu et al.

Summary: To enhance the external reliability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for commercialization, a facile encapsulation method utilizing conductive ribbons and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) backsheet on both sides of PSC is proposed. The implementation of thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) encapsulant enables fine encapsulation of PSCs, resulting in considerable durability in ambient atmosphere and water immersion with almost no degradation in device output. The encapsulated cell also exhibits significantly increased operation reliability, maintaining over 80% of initial efficiency after 770 hours of light illumination in ambient atmosphere. This novel encapsulation route provides a feasible idea for future commercial application of PSCs.
