Solar Cell Optimization

Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising technologies for high-efficiency photovoltaics today. Our focus is on architectures with carbon back electrodes—an approach that combines two key advantages: solar cells can be manufactured using scalable printing processes, and the resulting layer system is characterized by exceptional stability and minimal losses.
