Sumario:[Image: see text] Wide bandgap halide perovskite materials show promising potential to pair with silicon bottom cells. To date, most efficient wide bandgap perovskites layers are fabricated by spin-coating, which is difficult to scale up. Here, we report on slot-die coating for an efficient, 1.68 eV wide bandgap triple-halide (3halide) perovskite absorber, (Cs(0.22)FA(0.78))Pb(I(0.85)Br(0.15))(3) + 5 mol % MAPbCl(3). A suitable solvent system is designed specifically for the slot-die coating technique. We demonstrate that our fabrication route is suitable for tandem solar cells without phase segregation. The slot-die coated wet halide perovskite is dried by a “nitrogen (N(2))-knife” with high reproducibility and avoiding antisolvents. We explore varying annealing conditions and identify parameters allowing crystallization of the perovskite film into large grains reducing charge collection losses and enabling higher current density. At 150 °C, an optimized trade-off between crystallization and the PbI(2) aggregates on the film’s top surface is found. Thus, we improve the cell stability and performance of both single-junction cells and tandems. Combining the 3halide top cells with a 120 μm thin saw damage etched commercial Czochralski industrial wafer, a 2-terminal monolithic tandem solar cell with a PCE of 25.2% on a 1 cm(2) active area is demonstrated with fully scalable processes.
