CPPR seeks to advance perovskite solar cells (PSC) as a viable and sustainable technology for commercialization, via a highly cross-disciplinary approach. To obtain PSCs with larger scale, higher efficiency and longer stability, the center focuses on fundamental mechanisms that govern the stability and durability of PSCs, cutting-edge techniques for improving the efficiency of single junction and tandem solar cells, technical tools and processing equipment. Practical production, sustainable circular solutions for life circle issues in perovskite solar cells.
Currently, the center's main research directions include:
Quantitative characterization and precise control of perovskite defects
Mechanisistic analysis and long-term prediction of perovskite stability
Functional and structural design of high-efficiency devices
Current sponsors of CPPR include the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai, and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL).
