At this forum, Ms. Zhao Qingyan, Deputy General Manager of Jiguang Technology Co., Ltd., will serve as a keynote speaker, sharing on the topic of "Development Trends of Perovskite Solar Component Materials." This lecture delves into the fundamental core of perovskite technology development: materials. For perovskite solar energy, component efficiency, stability, low-temperature processing, thin-film quality, and future mass production feasibility are all closely related to the material system, interface design, and transport layer selection.
Mechatronics Technology: Based on organic optoelectronic materials, extending to next-generation energy materials.
Lumtec Technology Co., Ltd. has long been committed to the field of organic optoelectronic materials, with its technology covering the development and synthesis of organic light-emitting materials, organic solar cell materials, and perovskite photosensitive materials. Its product portfolio includes OLED, OPV, OTFT, organic intermediates, borate, and ITO glass, and it conducts development and manufacturing in Hsinchu, Taiwan. This material portfolio makes Lumtec not just a single material supplier, but a major R&D enterprise spanning display, photovoltaic, and new optoelectronic component materials.
Looking at the company's development history, Mechatronics Technology was founded in 2001 , the same year it began developing OLED organic electroluminescent diode materials; in 2004, it established an OLED certification laboratory; in 2005, it applied to enter the Hsinchu Science Park and established its first mass production plant; in 2009, it established its second mass production plant; in 2010, it began researching and developing OPV solar organic battery materials, and in 2011, it established OPV solar organic battery material laboratory equipment. These development milestones show that its technological focus has gradually extended from OLED display and lighting materials to the fields of organic photovoltaics and energy materials.
From synthesis and purification to component evaluation, establish the capability for materials industrialization.
In terms of materials development capabilities, Mechatronics Technology possesses a new materials development and production team, investing in the development of organic optoelectronic materials, as well as the synthesis, purification, sublimation, and analysis technologies of various compounds. Its synthesis equipment includes 50L–500L reactors and has the capability for mass production of catalog and customized products; in terms of sublimation equipment, it can provide high-purity materials directly usable in vacuum evaporation processes. These capabilities are of great significance for the development of optoelectronic component materials such as OLED, OPV, OTFT, and OPD, and also form the basis for its entry into the application of perovskite-related materials. Especially in the process of industrializing perovskite solar energy technology, material purity, batch stability, interface compatibility, and process adaptability often directly affect device efficiency, reliability, and mass production consistency.
Perovskite solar materials: a complete system from the absorber layer to the transport layer
An article in the Mechanical & Optical Technology Journal points out that perovskite solar cells are thin-film photovoltaic devices that use perovskite as the active layer to convert sunlight into electricity. Perovskite is considered one of the breakthrough materials in solar energy technology due to its excellent light absorption and charge transport characteristics, and it has also attracted attention due to its high photoelectric conversion efficiency and low-cost manufacturing potential.
In terms of material structure, perovskite has an ABX₃ crystal structure , where A represents an organic or inorganic cation, B is a metallic cation, and X is a halogen anion. Common materials include MAPbI₃, FAPbI₃, and CsPbI₃ ; common precursors include FAI, MAI, PbI₂, SnI₂, and CsI . Different material combinations affect the thin film crystal quality, bandgap, thermal stability, and device efficiency, which is precisely the core of the continuous optimization required for the development of perovskite solar materials.
Both NIP and PIN structures are being developed, with interface materials determining efficiency and stability.
Perthrock solar cells are not a technology that can be achieved with a single material, but rather a system of components consisting of an absorber layer, an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, electrodes, and interface materials. Common component architectures include two types: NIP and PIN . In the NIP structure, the electron transport layer is located below the perthrock absorber layer, and the hole transport layer is located above the absorber layer; the PIN structure has the opposite configuration.
The development trend of perovskite solar materials is not only about finding more efficient absorber layer materials, but also about optimizing the overall material system, including electron transport materials, hole transport materials, interface modification materials, and self-assembling monolayer materials. As components move from small-area laboratory efficiency to large-area modules, outdoor or indoor applications, BIPV, or IoT self-powered fields, the stability of materials, process compatibility, and interface reliability will become key factors in determining success or failure.
Deputy General Manager Zhao Qingyan continues to pay close attention to the development of perovskite component materials.
Deputy General Manager Zhao Qingyan previously shared insights on the development of perovskite solar energy materials and components at the Taiwan Perovskite Technology and Application Forum. She shared that perovskite solar energy components can be mainly divided into formal and inverted structures. The efficiency of inverted PSCs has exceeded 26%, and because they can be manufactured at lower temperatures, they are more suitable for applications such as flexible solar cells.
It was also pointed out that calcareous titanium ore materials possess characteristics such as adjustable absorption bandgap, light weight, low cost, and semi-transparency, making them market potential in applications such as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). These points echo the BIPV, IoT self-powered energy, and new energy applications highlighted at the 6th Forum, demonstrating that material development is not a single technology, but rather the underlying foundation supporting the future industrialization of calcareous titanium ore.
Exhibiting together with the Taiwan Perovskite Consortium to showcase Taiwan's materials and applications of energy.
In addition to forum discussions, G-Tech also collaborated with the Taiwan Perovskite R&D and Industry Alliance to promote the visibility of calcite materials at international exhibitions. An alliance article pointed out that during the Japan Smart Energy Week, the Taiwan Perovskite R&D and Industry Alliance exhibited under the theme "PEROVSKITE × AI," showcasing Taiwan's technological strength in calcite materials, equipment, and applications to the international market. G-Tech, as a materials R&D company, plays a crucial role in this industry chain.
For Taiwan's benzene and titanium mining industry, such joint participation is significant for supply chain integration. For benzene and titanium mining technology to enter the international market, it requires not only demonstrations of battery efficiency or modules, but also the establishment of a trustworthy industrial chain encompassing upstream materials, manufacturing equipment, component design, packaging reliability, and end-user applications. Mechatronics, with its materials research and synthesis technology, perfectly fills the most crucial gap in the benzene and titanium mining industrial chain: material availability and material quality stability.
AI accelerates materials research and development, boosting the efficiency of perovskite development.
With the introduction of artificial intelligence into materials science, materials research and development is gradually shifting from the traditional trial-and-error model to data-driven and model-assisted approaches. The consortium article points out that AI can assist researchers in analyzing large amounts of materials experimental data, predicting material properties and structures, and optimizing material formulations and process conditions. The article also mentions that Mechatronics is combining materials science and data analysis to explore AI-driven materials research and development models, continuously improving the speed and efficiency of optoelectronic material development.
This development trend means that "the development trend of perovskite solar energy component materials" is not just a technical introduction of a material list, but a discussion about future R&D methods and industrial competitiveness. When perovskite materials face multiple challenges such as efficiency, stability, mass production consistency, and differences in application scenarios, AI-assisted material screening and formulation optimization have the potential to shorten the material development cycle and improve experimental design efficiency.
Key to the commercialization of perovskite can be seen from the trends in component materials.
At the 6th Taiwan Percarbide Technology and Application Forum, Deputy General Manager Zhao Qingyan shared insights on " Development Trends of Percarbide Solar Component Materials." Her presentation aimed to help attendees understand, from a materials perspective, how percarbide solar technology improves component efficiency, stability, and application flexibility through the design of absorber layer, transport layer, and interface materials. For the industry, this was not only a materials technology presentation but also a crucial window into understanding the evolution of percarbide from laboratory research to mass production verification and from single components to system applications.
From the organic optoelectronic materials, OPV, and perovskite photosensitive materials layout presented in the publicly available information of Mechatronics Technology, to its long-term accumulated capabilities in synthesis, purification, sublimation, analysis, and component evaluation, and further to the joint participation and forum exchanges of the Taiwan Perovskite Alliance, this presentation does not present a single company introduction, but rather a microcosm of the gradual formation of Taiwan's perovskite material supply chain. As materials, equipment, processes, modules, and applications begin to connect, perovskite solar energy will be closer to becoming a market-proven next-generation energy technology.
