Research Update: Large-area deposition, coating, printing, and processing techniques for the upscaling of perovskite solar cell technology

To bring perovskite solar cells to the industrial world, performance must be maintained at the photovoltaic module scale. Here we present large-area manufacturing and processing options applicable to large-area cells and modules. Printing and coating techniques, such as blade coating, slot-die coati...
