Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are back-contact electrode photovoltaic devices that incorporate hybrid perovskite absorber materials and utilize their properties in order to create an entirely new photovoltaic device architecture. The provided devices include a number of architectures, including single-absorber devices and tandem devices, all of which incorporate the BC configuration. This new class of devices yields not only high performance photovoltaic devices but also promises to reduce manufacturing cost and complexity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A photovoltaic device, comprising: an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (HP) layer comprising a top major surface and a bottom major surface; a hole-collecting electrode and an electron-collecting electrode, both disposed adjacent to the bottom major surface; a hole-selective layer forming an interface between the hole-collecting electrode and the HP; and an electron-selective layer forming an interface between the electron-collecting electrode and the HP. 2…
