PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL TEST FIXTURE N2-SEALED REUSABLE CLAMP

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview
This Perovskite Solar Cell Test Fixture is a purpose-built reusable non-destructive clamping device designed for researchers working on perovskite photovoltaics. Addressing the critical stability limitations of perovskite solar cells—which currently operate for only months compared to over 25 years for silicon cells—this fixture provides a nitrogen-sealed water-oxygen barrier that isolates the device from ambient moisture and oxygen without requiring permanent encapsulation. Unlike conventional one-time encapsulation methods that involve high-temperature sintering, UV curing, or chemical reactions that may damage sensitive perovskite materials, this test fixture enables non-encapsulated device measurement through a fully reversible sealing mechanism. The compact split-body design allows complete assembly and disassembly within a glovebox environment, preserving sample integrity throughout repeated testing cycles.

Key Features & Advantages
  • High-Quality NBR Sealing for Water-Oxygen Isolation: The precision-engineered nitrile butadiene rubber sealing ring provides reliable hermetic isolation at temperatures up to 120°C, effectively shielding perovskite devices from ambient moisture and oxygen that are primary drivers of degradation, while the glass-sintered electrode feedthrough maintains seal integrity from -55°C to 125°C.
  • High-Transmission Quartz Viewing Window: The upper cover incorporates a high-transparency quartz glass plate ensuring optimal optical access for illuminated characterization. Custom filter glass can be specified to selectively block or transmit specific wavelength bands for wavelength-dependent photoresponse studies.
  • Split-Body Design with Spring-Loaded Pogo Pins: The fixture plate and base are connected via spring-loaded pogo pins, enabling rapid and convenient sample loading and unloading. This design eliminates the need for wire bonding or conductive adhesive attachment that may damage delicate perovskite films during conventional encapsulation.
  • 4-Wire Kelvin Measurement Configuration: The four-wire probe arrangement eliminates lead resistance contributions to measured device parameters, ensuring accurate extraction of intrinsic cell efficiency metrics. The number of probe contacts at the clamping interface can be customized to accommodate multi-junction or multi-pixel device architectures.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Designed for current-voltage characterization of perovskite solar cells under controlled atmosphere. Enables long-term stability testing under continuous illumination with water and oxygen excluded. Compatible with standard solar simulator setups for photovoltaic efficiency measurement. Suitable for impedance spectroscopy and external quantum efficiency measurement of non-encapsulated perovskite devices. Supports repeated testing of the same device across multiple time points in aging studies without irreversible encapsulation-induced damage. The glovebox-compatible split-body design facilitates sample exchange under inert atmosphere, preserving the integrity of air-sensitive perovskite compositions throughout the experimental workflow.
PACKAGING & DELIVERY: Each test fixture is assembled and inspected prior to shipment, and securely packed in a protective instrument case with custom foam inserts. Standard configuration includes the fixture body with integrated quartz viewing window, spring-loaded probe pin assembly, and glass-sintered electrode feedthroughs. Custom filter glass windows and probe pin configurations are manufactured to order. Installation guidance and operational support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Assembly and disassembly of the test fixture should be performed within a glovebox under inert atmosphere (H₂O < 1 ppm, O₂ < 1 ppm) to prevent moisture and oxygen exposure to air-sensitive perovskite devices during loading. Ensure the NBR sealing ring is properly seated and free of particulate contamination before each use to maintain hermetic integrity. The maximum operating temperature of 125°C should not be exceeded to preserve elastomeric sealing performance. When specifying custom filter glass for the viewing window, verify optical transmission characteristics meet experimental requirements prior to ordering. For detailed operational and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

This fixture requires assembly under inert atmosphere to prevent perovskite degradation. The NBR sealing ring must be free of contamination and the temperature must not exceed 125°C to maintain seal integrity.

  • Inert Atmosphere Assembly: Assembly and disassembly must be performed in a glovebox with H₂O and O₂ below 1 ppm to prevent moisture and oxygen exposure.
  • Sealing Ring Condition: The NBR sealing ring must be properly seated and free of particulate contamination before each use to maintain hermetic integrity.
  • Temperature Limit: The maximum operating temperature of 125°C must not be exceeded to preserve elastomeric sealing performance.
  • Custom Filter Glass Verification: When specifying custom filter glass, verify optical transmission characteristics meet experimental requirements prior to ordering.
  • Glovebox Compatibility: The split-body design is engineered for complete assembly and disassembly within a glovebox environment to preserve sample integrity.

This procedure describes safe loading and sealing of perovskite devices under inert atmosphere. The fixture provides a reversible nitrogen-sealed barrier for non-encapsulated measurement.

Required Equipment: Glovebox with inert atmosphere (H₂O < 1 ppm, O₂ < 1 ppm), NBR sealing ring, Quartz viewing window

  1. Assemble in Glovebox
    Assemble the test fixture within a glovebox under inert atmosphere to prevent moisture and oxygen exposure.
  2. Inspect Sealing Ring
    Ensure the NBR sealing ring is properly seated and free of particulate contamination before each use.
  3. Load Sample
    Place the perovskite device onto the fixture base and close the split-body clamp with spring-loaded pogo pins.
  4. Verify Temperature Limit
    Confirm the operating temperature does not exceed 125°C to preserve elastomeric sealing performance.
  5. Perform Measurement
    Conduct electrical characterization using the 4-wire Kelvin probe configuration while maintaining inert atmosphere.

What temperature range can the N2-sealed perovskite solar cell test fixture maintain without losing its hermetic water-oxygen barrier?

The fixture maintains seal integrity from -55°C to 125°C, while its NBR sealing ring is rated for hermetic water-oxygen isolation up to 120°C. The glass-sintered electrode feedthrough supports this same -55°C to 125°C operating envelope. Do not exceed 125°C, as that would degrade the elastomeric sealing performance.

Can this fixture be used for long-term stability testing of non-encapsulated perovskite solar cells under continuous illumination?

Yes. Its application scope includes long-term stability testing under continuous illumination with water and oxygen excluded, and the high-transmission quartz viewing window is designed for illuminated characterization. Because the split-body seal is reversible and requires no sintering, UV curing, or chemical reaction, the same non-encapsulated device can be measured repeatedly across aging time points without encapsulation-induced damage.

What glovebox atmosphere and handling conditions are required when loading air-sensitive perovskite devices into this test fixture?

Assembly and disassembly should be performed inside a glovebox under inert atmosphere with H₂O < 1 ppm and O₂ < 1 ppm to prevent moisture and oxygen exposure during loading. The NBR sealing ring must be properly seated and free of particulate contamination before each use to maintain hermetic integrity. These steps preserve the sample during repeated testing cycles.

This nitrogen-sealed reusable clamp fixture enables non-destructive, non-encapsulated current-voltage characterization of perovskite solar cells under controlled atmosphere, using an NBR hermetic seal rated to 120°C and a 4-wire Kelvin configuration. Its split-body design with spring-loaded pogo pins supports repeated sample cycling within a glovebox, avoiding high-temperature sintering or UV curing that could damage sensitive perovskite materials.
