Identifying Recombination Mechanisms in Bifacial Perovskite Solar Cells: Consequences for High Efficiency Tandems

open access: yesSolar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
Illuminating bifacial perovskite solar cells (PSCs) from either side with different colors of light enables identification of different recombination mechanisms. Probing devices with varying wavelengths pinpoints nonradiative loss pathways and their spatial positions, resulting in a large contrast in fill factor, revealing the dominant loss mechanism ...

First Flexible All‐Perovskite Tandem Minimodule Using Au‐Free Recombination Junction

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Through the development of a thin‐indium tin oxide recombination layer with a high lateral resistance combined with a compact SnO2 buffer layer, stacking MA‐free wide bandgap and narrow bandgap subcells is successfully achieved. Also, thanks to the implementation of a suitable laser scribing process, 11 cm2 all‐perovskite tandem minimodules are ...

How Halide Segregation Governs the Ion Density Evolution and Ionic Performance Losses: From Degradation to Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 15, 15 April 2026.
Halide segregation (HS) in mixed‐halide wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskites is key to the stability of perovskite‐based tandem cells and a central focus of large‐scale research efforts. Here, we find that the underlying reason for the poor stability of cells prone to HS is enhanced ionic losses during operation. Furthermore, we identified irreversible ionic

Superimposed Sacrificial Texturing to Enhance the Optical Performance in Thin‐Film Solar Cells

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 465-481, April 2026.
Sacrificial texturing method using controlled etching of undoped zinc oxide and indium‐doped tin oxide generates microscale and nanoscale textures on glass. Roughness on two different scales is superimposed to create a new texture capable of broad‐spectrum scattering, which is utilised in thin‐film silicon solar cells to enhance optical performance ...

Influence of the Chemical Composition on the Perovskites Anharmonicity: Toward a Stable Inorganic Perovskite

open access: yesSolar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 6, 29 March 2026.
This study investigates the effect of the chemical composition on the properties of A(BB’)(XX’)3$_3$ inorganic halide perovskites with density functional theory. By correlating distortion amplitudes with both composition and the Goldschmidt tolerance factor, we propose a pragmatic approach to designing more stable and efficient perovskites, advancing ...

Fast and Simple Series Resistance Imaging for Tandem Solar Cells Using Differential Luminescence

open access: yesSolar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 6, 29 March 2026.
This article presents a method for imaging the series resistance of subcells in a multijunction device. It requires few input properties, no current or voltage calibration and only three measured images. Validated on single junction and multijunction perovskite‐based devices, this method provides a practical tool for advancing photovoltaic research and
