Three Views of the Carbon Perovskite Solar Cell Module

Caption

The Swansea team used an existing type of cell, a Carbon Perovskite Solar Cell (C-PSC), made of different layers -- titania, zirconia and carbon on top -- which are all printable. The breakthrough comes from the optimisation of the printing process on glass substrates as large as an A4 sheet of paper. The team ensured the patterned layers were perfectly aligned through a method called registration, well-known in the printing industry.
