Large datasets are now ubiquitous as technology enables higher-throughput experiments, but rarely can a research field truly benefit from the research data generated due to inconsistent formatting, undocumented storage or improper dissemination. Here we extract all the meaningful device data from peer-reviewed papers on metal-halide perovskite solar cells published so far and make them available in a database. We collect data from over 42,400 photovoltaic devices with up to 100 parameters per device. We then develop open-source and accessible procedures to analyse the data, providing examples of insights that can be gleaned from the analysis of a large dataset. The database, graphics and analysis tools are made available to the community and will continue to evolve as an open-source initiative. This approach of extensively capturing the progress of an entire field, including sorting, interactive exploration and graphical representation of the data, will be applicable to many fields in materials science, engineering and biosciences.
Through the optimization
of the perovskite precursor composition
and interfaces to selective contacts, we achieved a p-i-n-type perovskite
solar cell (PSC) with a 22.3% power conversion efficiency (PCE). This
is a new performance record for a PSC with an absorber bandgap of
1.63 eV. We demonstrate that the high device performance originates
from a synergy between (1) an improved perovskite absorber quality
when introducing formamidinium chloride (FACl) as an additive in the
“triple cation” Cs0.05FA0.79MA0.16PbBr0.51I2.49 (Cs-MAFA) perovskite
precursor ink, (2) an increased open-circuit voltage, V
OC, due to reduced recombination losses when using a lithium
fluoride (LiF) interfacial buffer layer, and (3) high-quality hole-selective
contacts with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid (2PACz) on ITO electrodes. While
all devices exhibit a high performance after fabrication, as determined
from current–density voltage, J–V, measurements, substantial differences in device performance
become apparent when considering longer-term stability data. A reduced
long-term stability of devices with the introduction of a LiF interlayer
is compensated for by using FACl as an additive in the metal-halide
perovskite thin-film deposition. Optimized devices maintained about
80% of the initial average PCE during maximum power point (MPP) tracking
for >700 h. We scaled the optimized device architecture to larger
areas and achieved fully laser patterned series-interconnected mini-modules
with a PCE of 19.4% for a 2.2 cm2 active area. A robust
device architecture and reproducible deposition methods are fundamental
for high performance and stable large-area single junction and tandem
modules based on PSCs.

Metal halide perovskites have received great attention in recent years, predominantly due to the high performance of perovskite solar cells. The versatility of the material, which allows the tunability of the bandgap, has led to its use in light‐emitting diodes, photo, and X‐ray detectors, among other optoelectronic device applications. Specifically in photodetectors, the tunability of the bandgap allows fabrication of spectrally selective devices. Utilizing a combinatorial inkjet printing approach, multiple perovskite compositions absorbing at specific wavelengths in a single printing step are fabricated. The drop‐on‐demand capabilities of inkjet printing enable the deposition of inks in a precise ratio to produce specific perovskite compositions in the printed thin film. By controlling the halide ratio in the compositions, a mixed halide gradient ranging from pure MAPbI3 via MAPbBr3 to MAPbCl3 is produced. The tunability in the absorption onset from 410 to 790 nm is demonstrated, covering the whole visible spectrum, with a precision of 8 nm steps for MAPb(BrxCl1−x)3 compositions. From this range of mixed halide perovskites, photodetectors which show spectral selectivity corresponding to the measured absorption onset are demonstrated, paving the way for use in a printed visible light spectrometer without the need for a dispersion element.
