“…The use of a typical industrial unit (1 m x 1 m) can enable a faster line speed, equivalent to 5 m/min for a processing time of 12.5 seconds. Whilst NIR heating of TiO 2 [27,28] has been demonstrated previously the m-ZrO 2 and m-carbon had not been previously heated by NIR.…”

“…These are a result of sample contamination during the manufacturing process. In addition, XPS depth profiling revealed that the Ti layer found on EA is thinner than what might be preferred in PSCs according to literature, estimated to be below 20 nm. However, recent work has shown that highly efficient PSCs utilizing ultrathin TiO 2 electron transport layers in the region of 2 nm are possible .…”

A commercially available glass substrate which incorporates both a fluorine‐doped tin oxide and compact TiO2 layer deposited through chemical vapor deposition that is commonly used in “solar control products,” is presented. The substrate, known commercially as Pilkington Eclipse Advantage, is designed for use as an infrared radiation control product and this is the first known instance of it being employed and extensively characterized for use as a mass manufactured n‐type contact in perovskite solar cells. Using this substrate with no additional compact TiO2 layer, perovskite solar cells with PCEs of up to 15.9% are achieved. These devices are superior in performance to those where the compact TiO2 is deposited via spray pyrolysis. The reproducibility and large scale manufacturing base already established with this substrate represents significant potential for solving the problem of upscaling a uniform and pinhole free n‐type compact TiO2 blocking layer.

Previously, textile dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) woven using photovoltaic (PV) yarns have been demonstrated but there are challenges in their implementation arising from the mechanical forces in the weaving process, evaporation of the liquid electrolyte and partially shaded cells area, which all reduce the performance of the cell. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a novel fabrication process for a monolithic-structured solid-state dye sensitized solar cell (ssDSSC) on textile using all solution based processes. A glass fibre textile substrate was used as the target substrate for the printed ssDSSC that contain multiple layers of electrodes and active materials. The printed ssDSSC on textile have been successfully demonstrated and compared with a reference device made with the same processes on a glass substrate. All PV textile devices were characterized under simulated AM 1.5 conditions and a peak efficiency of 0.4% was achieved. This approach is potentially suitable for the low cost integration of PV devices onto high temperature textiles, but to widen the range of applications future research is required to reduce the processing temperature to enable the device to be fabricated on the standard fabric substrates.
