Solid State Perovskite Solar Modules by Vacuum-vapor Assisted Sequential Deposition on Nd:YVO4 Laser Patterned Rutile TiO2 Nanorods

The past few years have witnessed remarkable progress in solution-processed methylammonium lead halide (CH3NH3PbX3,X - halide) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with reported photoconversion efficiency (η) exceeding 20% in laboratory-scale devices and reaching up to 13% in their large area perovskite sol...
