Alkali additives enable efficient large area (>55 cm²) slot-die coated perovskite solar modules by Rana, Prem Jyoti Singh, Febriansyah, Benny, Koh, Teck Min, Bening Tirta Muhammad, Salim, Teddy, Hooper, Thomas J. N., Kanwat, Anil, Ghosh, Biplab, Kajal, Priyanka, Lew, Jia Haur, Aw, Yeow Chong, Yantara, Natalia, Bruno, Annalisa, Pullarkat, Sumod A., Ager, Joel W., Leong, Wei Lin, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Mathews, Nripan

“…Typical fabrication methods for laboratory-scale (<1 cm2) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are undeniably not scalable and the control of crystallization of large-area perovskite layer for commercial sized modules is also particularly challenging. Here, a seed-assisted crystallization approach is demonstrated through addition of alkali salts, CsPbBr3 and KPb2Br5, to the perovskite precursor ink for enabling homogeneous and highly crystalline large-area Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 (CsFA) perovskite films via scalable slot-die coating technique. …”

Tunable Mechanical Response of Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Superlattices by Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Yee, Daryl W., Zhou, Ziran, Sun, Rachel, Andrade, José E., Macfarlane, Robert J., Portela, Carlos M.

“…Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. …”
