Breaking Barriers with Cutting-Edge Strategies: Advancing Efficiency and Stability in Perovskite Photovoltaics

Perovskite photovoltaics have emerged as a transformative technology in the field of solar energy, offering unprecedented efficiency potential and ease of fabrication. However, challenges such as limited stability and scalability have hindered their mass production. In this presentation, we explore innovative strategies that are breaking barriers and advancing perovskite photovoltaics towards commercial viability. The talk begins by addressing the crucial aspect of efficiency enhancement. We demonstrate cutting-edge techniques and materials that enhance light harvesting, facilitate charge transport, and optimize interface engineering within perovskite solar cells. These advancements lead to substantial increases in power conversion efficiency, pushing the boundaries of achievable results in this technology. By combining cutting-edge strategies with a focus on efficiency, stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, this presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and future prospects of perovskite photovoltaics.
