Perovskite solar cell device developed by Yamagata University

Professor Kenshi Sano and his team at Yamagata University have developed a perovskite solar cell with a structure called "reverse type" fabricated by a low-temperature formation process of 150 degrees C or lower. So far, the conversion efficiency of the low-temperature formation and inverse-type structure has been 17-19%, but using Yamagata University's organic EL manufacturing technology, they have confirmed a conversion efficiency of over 20%. Conventionally, solar cells have been fabricated using a high-temperature formation method called the "forward type," in which an electron transport layer (titania) is baked on top of a special transparent conductive film using a high-temperature process (approximately 500 degrees C). The research team at Yamagata University has been working on the inverse type device structure, which can reduce the process temperature.
