Printable, radiation-tolerant CsPbCl3 perovskite films using open-air blade coating.
In order to manufacture perovskite thin film solar cells that are uniform and efficient, the optimal configuration for the parameters of blade coating must be found (such as blade height, blade speed, hot plate temperature, and polymer-based additive percentage to add viscosity). Film quality is assessed by a profilometer for uniformity, photoluminescence for band gap energy and impurities, and X-ray diffraction to see any indications of phase formation. Ongoing work is studying optimal temperature for phase formation, additive percentage range, and attempting multiple film coats on the same wafer for controlled thickness.
