Abstract
Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated Willow glass is an excellent substrate for roll-to-roll manufacturing of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) but can have large variability in its optical and electrical properties. Photonic curing uses intense light pulses instead of heat to process materials and can facilitate faster processing speeds in roll-to-roll manufacturing to upscale the production of PSCs. Since the entire film stack can absorb light and contributes to the photonic curing outcome, the substrate materials’ properties play an integral role. Here, we present the effect of ITO transmittance on the photonic curing of nickel nitrate sol-gel precursors into nickel oxide and consequently the performance of PSCs fabricated with only photonic curing and no thermal annealing. Unexpectedly, ITO samples processed by photonic curing show improved optical and electrical properties.
