Clever structure boosts efficiency and cuts production costs

Researchers have developed flexible back-contact perovskite solar cells using a process directly scalable to large-area, low-cost manufacturing. The innovative design features micro-grooves embossed into a plastic substrate, created using techniques compatible with roll-to-roll processing.
