The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $250,000 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 81.087 Renewable Energy Research and Development) to Arizona State University to conduct research on improving the stability of perovskite solar modules. The project aims to understand how thermal cycling and chemical reactions at laser-scribed areas impact the long-term performance and durability of perovskite solar cells. Arizona State University has also provided a $166,667 sub-award to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to support this research. The funding will enable the research team to investigate the chemo-thermomechanical degradation mechanisms at the laser-scribed regions of perovskite solar modules and develop mitigation strategies to enhance their operational lifetime.
