Invention:
This technology is an ultralight, flexible metal halide perovskite thin film. Metal halide perovskites are semiconductor materials with unique properties that make them ideal for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. They are often used in solar cells. These metal halide perovskite thin films function without a substrate, making them ideal for ultra-lightweight applications and for applications in technologies with non-planar geometries like wearable electronics.
Background:
Typical metal halide perovskite thin-films function as thin layers applied to a glass substrate. This increases the overall weight and makes applying perovskite thin films to unusual geometries more difficult. This technology provides metal halide perovskite thin films that function without a substrate, enabling applications in ultra-lightweight energy harvesting technologies, wearable electronics, and space energy.
Applications:
- Solar energy
- Wearable electronics
- Photovoltaics
- Optoelectronics
- Space energy
Advantages:
- Functions without substrate
- Reduced weight
- Flexible, suitable for use in non-planar geometries
- Broad application use
