6 FAQs about [Solar power strain review]

How does strain affect photovoltaic performance?

Therefore, the strain-induced variation in the electron behavior may have a more pronounced effect on the photovoltaic performance, which also in turn verifies the change in the electron concentration and electron mobility.

Does the crystallization process induce strain heterogeneity in perovskite solar cells?

How does strain induced lattice distortion affect photovoltaic performance?

The strain-induced lattice distortion led to an increase in electron mobility and a decrease in electron concentration. The reduced electron concentration finally resulted in a decrease in the conductivity of the thicker perovskite films, and thus limited their photovoltaic performance.

How does regulated strain affect device stability?

The regulated strain also demonstrates a positive impact on device stability. The best encapsulated cell, operated at the maximum power point, retains 88% of its initial efficiency after aging under one sun illumination at 55 ± 5 °C for 1500 hours in ambient air.

Which solar cells have the highest power conversion efficiency?

p>Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) currently hold the record for highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) at an impressive 26.1%. However, the state-of-the-art PCEs still fall below theoretical limits, and the long-term stability remains a critical concern for practical implementation of PSCs.

Is the strain effect a critical factor limiting PCE of thick-film PSCs?

To further confirm that the strain effect is a critical factor limiting the PCE of thick-film PSCs, a strain regulation strategy (SRS) was designed to mitigate the strain relaxation for the thick perovskite films.
