Back-Contact Perovskite Solar Cell Modules Fabricated via Roll-to-Roll Slot-Die Coating: Scale-Up toward Manufacturing.
Article in ACS applied energy materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We fabricate a type of back-contact perovskite solar cell based on 1.5 μm-width grooves that are embossed into a plastic film whose opposing "walls" are selectively coated with either n- or p-type contacts. A perovskite precursor solution is then deposited into the grooves, creating individual photovoltaic devices. Each groove device is series-connected to its neighbors, creating minimodules consisting of hundreds of connected grooves. Here, we report on the fabrication of groove-based devices using slot-die coating to deposit the perovskite precursor and explore the structure of the perovskite in the grooves using a range of microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. Significantly, our devices do not contain any expensive or scarce elements such as indium, indicating that this technology is both sustainable and low-cost. Furthermore, all coating processes explored here were performed using roll-to-roll processing techniques. Our technology is therefore completely scalable and is consistent with high-throughput, low-cost manufacturing.
