Pioneering perovskite PV

At last month’s virtual EU PVSEC conference, Henry Snaith – a professor of physics at Oxford University – won the Becquerel Prize for his pioneering work on perovskite solar cells. As chief scientific officer at Oxford PV, Snaith is involved in planning the commercial launch of a perovskite-on-silicon tandem module for the middle of next year. pv magazine recently caught up with Snaith to discuss his prize-winning work and the current state-of-the-art in perovskite PV and tandem cells.

Well, first off, congratulations. What does it mean to you to receive the Becquerel prize this year?It is especially rewarding to see the community from silicon and commercialized thin-film PV recognizing the work we’ve done on these perovskites and on the silicon tandem cells. They are at the point at which they are making, or …
