Abstract

Flexible perovskite solar cells (f‐PSCs) offer attractive commercial prospects in the near future, enabled by new value propositions, such as mechanical flexibility, or high specific powers. The long‐term reliability of these devices requires appropriate encapsulation to prevent degradation caused by environmental factors. Here, a lamination protocol is developed, incorporating adhesive materials, barrier foils, and edge sealants, which results in a robust device hermitization. By applying the developed procedure to three different perovskite solar cell configurations (p‐i‐n with carbon, p‐i‐n with silver, and n‐i with carbon), fabricated with large active areas (1 cm2), the universality of this approach is demonstrated. The best devices preserved over 85% of the initial performance after a sequence of accelerated aging tests based on industry standards (compliant with the IEC 61215 and IEC 61646) comprised of 1400 h of damp heat, 50 thermal cycles, and 10 cycles of the humidity‐freeze test.
