“…The uniform and smooth surface of the inkjet-printed perovskite films can be potentially used for the manufacturing of large-scale semitransparent photovoltaic devices. 36 The core-level XPS spectra of Pb 4f, I 3d, Br 3d, C 1s, N 1s, and Cs 3d elements of the inkjet-printed perovskite film over glass substrate are shown in Fig. S2 peaks that exist at BEs of 138.2 and 143.1 eV, respectively, with a spin-orbital splitting of 4.9 eV.…”

Perovskite Solar Module: Promise and Challenges in Efficiency, Meta‐Stability, and Operational Lifetime

“…Recently, a design of silver mesh at an optimized aspect ratio on a transparent ITO electrode can reduce the sheet resistance below 1 Ω/□ and maintain the transmittance exceeding 85% of solar modules. [15] Furthermore, various ITO-alternative materials such as graphene, metal mesh, conductive polymers, metal nanowires, carbon, and nanotubes have also been developed for PV's transparent electrode to improve the conductivity upon scaling the device. [16] PSCs and modules show the same inverse scaling trend but they exhibit much higher losses from cell to module than other thin-film solar technologies (Figure 3b,c).…”

Elucidating the effect of Ag interlayer formation on the intrinsic mechanical properties of free-standing ITO/Ag/ITO thin films

“…Previous literature reported the aging effect of the IAI thin films when the film is exposed to oxygen, air, and light illumination. [23][24][25] To exclude the aging effect, whole samples were stored in a vacuum desiccator (approximately À0.1 mPa, 0% relative humidity) and the test was performed within 2 weeks after the deposition. Therefore, this study aims to provide a foundation for a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of oxide/metal/oxide multilayers and new opportunities for the design of flexible electronics and mechanical nanocomposites.…”
