The development of highly efficient lightweight flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) opens the way to high-throughput roll-to-roll manufacturing processes and new applications such as building integration and mobile products. Flexible PSCs are generally realized on small areas (< 0.2 cm(2)), far from technology commercialization where modules-scale is necessary. In this work, we demonstrate highly efficient n-i-p PSCs grown on flexible substrates by proper interface engineering for improved electron extraction. We compared spin coated PEIE and vacuum deposited LiF as interlayers between Al-doped ZnO, as transport conductive oxide (TCO), and thermally evaporated C-60, as electron transport layer (ETL). Once interlayers are applied, we observed a favorable band bending at TCO interface which results in enhanced charge extraction and lower recombination losses. We achieved flexible PSCs with stabilized efficiencies of 14.8%, both with PEIE and LiF interfacial modifications.

In addition, we developed a flexible perovskite mini-module with stabilized efficiency of 10.5% onto an aperture area larger than 10 cm(2). The monolithic interconnections are entirely obtained by highly accurate and reliable laser scribing methods. A geometric fill factor as high as similar to 94% is achieved, with a dead area width of similar to 250 mu m.
