Self-Driving Laboratories Drive Perovskite Solar Cells Toward Reproducible Manufacturing at 28% Efficiency
By
Jiyun Zhang
Summary
The article discusses how perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have reached 28% efficiency, marking a transition where champion-device metrics are no longer sufficient. The field must now focus on reproducibility across batches, areas, operators, laboratories, and manufacturing platforms. Self-driving laboratories and AI-driven autonomous experimentation, as highlighted by Zhu et al., represent a paradigm shift toward reproducible manufacturing and scalable production of perovskite photovoltaics.

· 4 pulledAs single-junction PSCs enter the 28% efficiency era, the field has reached a stage where champion efficiency alone is no longer a sufficient measure of progress.
The more challenging question is whether high performance can be reproduced across batches, device areas, operators, laboratories, and manufacturing platforms.
Recent progress in autonomous experimentation, highlighted by Zhu et al., provides a timely signal of this transition.
Its significance lies not only in certified efficiency, module-level performance, or operational stability, but also in the demonstration that AI-driven...
