Founded by Prof Joe Briscoe, AeroSolar are taking perovskite solar from concept to reality.

Next generation perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost but challenging to manufacture. The crystalline structure means that perovskites often show a high number of flaws after the manufacturing process.

Prof Briscoe developed a new method called aerosol-assisted solvent treatment. This technique passes an aerosol over a surface in a controlled manner. The aerosolised solution passes from a misting bottle through a reactor, containing the heated perovskite sample.

Aerosolar’s method increases the speed, consistency and quality of perovskite manufacturing lines while reducing capex, opex, and space requirements.

The potential of this new manufacturing method is enormous – these new innovations mean low-cost, high-efficiency solar power can enable the continued progress of renewable energy for a more sustainable future.
