Shunt mitigation toward efficient large-area perovskite

To identify local shunts in perovskite-silicon tandem cells, we first employed a photoluminescence (PL) imaging technique, as this has been widely used to detect local shunts in other solar cells. 36, 37 Figures 3D and 3E show PL mappings of a shunted tandem cell (without LiF) and a non-shunted tandem cell (with LiF) under open-circuit conditions.

6 FAQs about [Solar Cell Self-Test Report]

What is the solar cells Reporting Summary?

Originally, the Solar Cells Reporting Summary was intended for editors and peer reviewers to ensure that manuscripts meet the assessment and reporting standards expected by the community. However, a few years later, we started publishing the document alongside the paper.

Are experimental details included in the solar cells Reporting Summary?

To improve the usefulness of the Solar Cells Reporting Summary as a standalone report, we now ask authors of relevant manuscripts to include experimental details in the Summary, and we have updated some of the requested information.

How do you calculate the spectral responsivity of a solar cell?

Since the pixel area is known from the previous calibration, the area of the sample under test, or the area of the mask used to define the active solar cell area, can be calculated. To determine the spectral responsivity of the DUT, the relative DSR is measured between 280 and 1,200nm in 10nm steps at 25°C.

Why do we need a solar cell summary?

We and other editors across the Nature Portfolio believe that this is more useful to both reviewers and readers: it not only ensures transparency in reporting the results, but also allows a quick assessment of the solar cell data presented in a study, avoiding the need to go back and forth between the Summary and the main files.

Do we need to report the area of solar cells?

In particular, we now ask authors not only to report the area of the tested solar cells but also to indicate the type of area calculated, for example, total area, aperture area, active area.

How are solar cells calibrated?

Three main measuring systems are required for the calibration of solar cells: one to determine the active area, another to determine the spectral responsivity, and a third one to measure the I–V characteristics.
