This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087), aims to develop and demonstrate a new, low-temperature metallization strategy compatible with tandem perovskite photovoltaic cells for large-scale manufacturing. The $312,500 award, effective September 1, 2024, will fund the development of reactive silver and copper inks that can metallize perovskite cells at temperatures below 100°C, reducing silver usage by 80% or completely replacing it with copper. The project will be executed by the Colorado School of Mines, with sub-awards to Beyond Silicon Inc. and Arizona State University for specific tasks related to advancing perovskite/silicon tandem solar module technologies and manufacturing processes.
