Description

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.
