Slot-die Coating for Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells
Scaling Up Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells
Organic and perovskite solar cells are promising candidates for next-generation solar technology, but both face challenges in scaling up for commercial production.
Organic Solar Cells: With decades of research, organic solar cells are now entering niche markets due to their flexibility and lightweight properties. Pilot production lines are emerging, but challenges remain in efficiency, stability, and longevity. Advances in materials and processing techniques are continuously improving their viability.
Perovskite Solar Cells: Perovskite technology has seen rapid efficiency gains in the lab, yet commercial scalability and long-term stability remain hurdles. Sensitivity to moisture and UV exposure must be addressed before widespread deployment.
We Enable Breakthroughs in Solar Cell Research
At infinityPV, we offer modular coating platforms and specialized characterization equipment designed to develop next-generation photovoltaic technologies. Our solutions ensure precise thin-film deposition, uniform coatings, reliable surface treatments, and controlled drying, all essential for optimizing the efficiency, stability, and scalability of solar cells—whether you're working with perovskite, OPV, DSSC, or silicon-based PV.
Slot-Die Coating: Enabling Large-Scale Production
Slot-die coating is a key technology for scaling up both organic and perovskite solar cells, offering critical advantages:
Precision & Uniformity: Enables precise thickness control and uniform coatings, essential for maximizing efficiency.
Roll-to-Roll Production: Supports continuous manufacturing for high-throughput production.
Material Efficiency: Minimizes waste, using less than 0.5 ml of material for multiple cm² of solar cells—ideal for research and industrial scaling.
Scalability: Adapts to various substrate sizes without compromising quality.
Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces production costs while maintaining high-performance layers.
Versatility: Allows flexible patterning and configurations for innovative device designs.
By addressing key manufacturing challenges, slot-die coating accelerates the commercial viability of organic and perovskite solar cells, paving the way for a more sustainable solar energy future.
Coating Equipment for Solar Cell Applications
We've configured three setups for solar cell coating, covering both roll-to-roll and sheet-based processes. Designed for precision, efficiency, and scalability, these setups deliver high-quality results for research and production.
Upscale from spin coating to slot-die coating and flexo printing. Integrate research, materials, and scalable processes into a unified platform perfect for R&D.
Upgrade from sheet to roll-to-roll coating to boost efficiency, ensure consistent quality, and scale production.
The LR2RC750 Coater is a complete system that facilitates the coating of all layers within the solar cell device stack, as well as the encapsulation of solar cells using various lamination options.
