| Abstract | Achieving highly efficient perovskite solar cells that can withstand temperature variations is a critical goal in photovoltaic research forcommercialisation. Temperature fluctuations are encountered in various environments and can significantly impact the performanceand stability of perovskite materials. In ELASTIC project, our primary objective is to optimise the crystallisation process of perovskitesto enhance both bulk and surface crystal quality. By precisely controlling reaction conditions, we aim to minimise crystal defects andpromote the growth of high-quality perovskite crystals. This will result in reduced charge recombination losses and improvedphotovoltaic performance. Furthermore, we will investigate the behaviour of perovskite crystals under varying temperatureconditions and thermal cycling. By gaining insights into the stability mechanisms, we seek to develop strategies to enhance the longterm stability of perovskite solar cells, even under extreme temperature variations. This endeavor holds an intrinsic training aspect. Aswe delve into these complexities, our team cultivates expertise in advanced materials characterisation, crystal engineering, andstability assessment. This empowers our researchers to meaningfully contribute to sustainable energy innovation and enhance theskills and knowledge. Our research aims to pave the way for highly efficient perovskite solar cells that can withstand real-worldenvironmental conditions, ensuring their practical and widespread application in renewable energy systems. The outcomes of thisproject will contribute to the advancement of perovskite optoelectronic devices, bringing us closer to a sustainable future powered by efficient solar energy technology | |
