To date, crystalline silicon-based solar cells dominate 90% of the solar market due to their technological maturity and high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ~ 25%. However, these cells suffer from relatively high production costs, long energy payback times and are rigid, with heavy form factors. They are therefore unsuitable to power the rapidly growing portable electronics market, particularly wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are expected to reach trillions of units in the next few years. Current commercial solar technologies are also not compatible with the blooming mobile solar markets requiring high specific power (W/kg) or portable electronics requiring flexible form factors. It is therefore urgent to develop cheaper materials together with scalable manufacturing techniques to further accelerate the uptake of solar electricity. Here, metal halide perovskites have emerged as a new class of semiconductor having important applications in next generation solar cells. Indeed, an unprecedented advancement in the PCE of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has resulted in the demonstration of devices having certified PCEs of 25.2% within just 8 years. Significantly, such materials are based on inexpensive starting compounds that can be processed at low-temperatures using solution-based techniques; properties that open up disruptive technology applications.In this proposal we will develop fully flexible perovskite solar cells, with our aim being the development of devices that can power wearable technologies and IoT wireless devices. Scale-up of such technologies are also likely to find longer-term applications in utility and rooftop power generation and mobile solar (e.g. electric vehicles), and will be facilitated by a combination of ultra-low cost, high-volume manufacture processes together with selection of materials having reduced embodied energy. Here, the use of perovskite semiconductors is critical, as they can be deposited on temperature sensitive flexible plastic substrates using low-temperature processes.We expect that success in our research will - in a shorter time frame - open the very large wearables and IoT power-source markets, and will power the increasing number of mobile (wireless) technologies that currently utilise conventional Li-ion power batteries. Indeed, there are already over 50 billion IoT devices in the market that currently map and gather information, and 127 new devices are connected to the internet each second, leading to a potential IoT market worth of US$1 trillion by 2023.However the 10 trillion wireless sensors delivering the data needed by the IoT will need one million tons of lithium if they are to be powered by batteries; this represents the combined worldwide lithium production in 10 years. Besides the environmental impact of battery production, disposal and recycling, there are further costs that should be considered as batteries need regular maintenance. Looking further ahead, we expect our project to de-risk the application of PSCs for larger scale deployment. Here, the exploitation of clean and renewable energy sources is a global challenge that we must solve in the next 30 years if we are to avoid non-reversible environmental changes. We therefore propose to exceed the state of the art in the development of current flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs), where current single-junction perovskite devices demonstrate power conversion efficiencies of ~19% -- surpassing all competing flexible technologies. This will be developed together with key stability demonstrations. Our project team represents some of the leading international experts in halide perovskite photovoltaics, including the leading industry partners in this space, giving a very high likelihood of success - allowing us to power a smart and flexible electronics future.

迄今为止，晶体硅基太阳能电池由于其技术成熟和约25%的高功率转换效率（PCE）而占据了90%的太阳能市场。然而，这些电池具有相对高的生产成本、长的能量回收时间，并且是刚性的，具有重的形状因子。因此，它们不适合为快速增长的便携式电子产品市场提供动力，特别是可穿戴设备和物联网（IoT）设备，预计未来几年将达到数万亿台。当前的商业太阳能技术也不与需要高比功率（W/kg）的蓬勃发展的移动的太阳能市场或需要灵活形状因子的便携式电子设备兼容。因此，迫切需要开发更便宜的材料以及可扩展的制造技术，以进一步加速太阳能发电的吸收。在这里，金属卤化物钙钛矿已经成为在下一代太阳能电池中具有重要应用的一类新的半导体。事实上，钙钛矿太阳能电池（PSC）的PCE取得了前所未有的进步，在短短8年内就展示了具有25.2%认证PCE的设备。值得注意的是，这些材料基于廉价的起始化合物，可以在低温下使用基于溶液的技术进行加工;这些特性开辟了颠覆性技术应用。在该提案中，我们将开发完全柔性的钙钛矿太阳能电池，我们的目标是开发可以为可穿戴技术和物联网无线设备供电的设备。此类技术的规模扩大还可能在公用事业和屋顶发电以及移动的太阳能（例如电动汽车）方面找到长期应用，并将通过超低成本、大批量制造工艺与选择具有降低的内含能量的材料相结合而得到促进。在这里，钙钛矿半导体的使用至关重要，因为它们可以通过低温工艺沉积在对温度敏感的柔性塑料基板上。我们预计，我们研究的成功将在更短的时间内打开非常大的可穿戴设备和物联网电源市场，并将为越来越多的目前使用传统锂离子动力电池的移动的（无线）技术提供动力。事实上，目前市场上已经有超过500亿台物联网设备在映射和收集信息，每秒有127台新设备连接到互联网，到2023年，物联网市场的潜在价值将达到1万亿美元。这是10年内全球锂产量的总和。除了电池生产、处置和回收对环境的影响外，还应考虑其他成本，因为电池需要定期维护。展望未来，我们预期我们的项目将降低PSC应用的风险，以进行更大规模的部署。在这方面，开发清洁和可再生能源是一项全球挑战，如果我们要避免不可逆转的环境变化，我们就必须在今后30年中解决这一挑战。因此，我们建议在开发当前的柔性钙钛矿太阳能电池（f-PSC）方面超越现有技术，其中当前的单结钙钛矿设备显示出约19%的功率转换效率-超过所有竞争的柔性技术。这将与关键的稳定性演示一起开发。我们的项目团队代表了卤化物钙钛矿光化学领域的一些领先的国际专家，包括该领域的领先行业合作伙伴，成功的可能性非常高-使我们能够为智能和灵活的电子未来提供动力。
