Drop-on-demand inkjet printing is an easily up-scalable, rapid and digital deposition technique that allows thin film formation with a high material utilization rate as ideally needed for solar cells production In this contribution, a method is reported to prepare inkjet-printed compact TiO2 thin films that are further assessed as electron transport layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cells and compared to reference dip-coated TiO2 layers Through ink formula engineering and adjustment of the printing parameters, a reliable process control is achieved leading to a homogeneous TiO2 coating of the FTO substrate Perovskite solar cells with inkjet-printed TiO2 ETL yielded efficiencies up to 13 7?%, outperforming the efficiency and the process repeatability of devices prepared with our dip coated TiO2 reference Together with other recent contributions on inkjet-printed perovskite solar cells, this work contributes to highlight the processability of thin film solar cells using digital inkjet printing for next generation photovoltaic applications This article is protected by copyright All rights reserved
