DESCRIPTION:Stefaan De Wolf : professor at the King Abdullah University of
  Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia.\nPerovskite solar cells h
 ave demonstrated in the last 15 years particular promise to combine high p
 erformance with low-cost manufacturing. However\, long-term operational st
 ability remains a significant concern for the commercialization of any per
 ovskite-based technology. In this presentation I will discuss how through 
 molecular interface engineering and the creation of thin two-dimensional p
 erovskites at the contact interfaces\, both performance and stability unde
 r a variety of accelerated stress tests can be enhanced\, for perovskite s
 olar cells in their single-junction implementation\, but also when used as
  a top-cell in tandem with a silicon bottom cell. Such interface engineeri
 ng has recently led to a certified power conversion efficiency of 33.7% fo
 r a monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell. I will conclude my ta
 lk with outlining paths to even higher performance such as through triple-
 junction and bifacial tandem photovoltaics.\n\nStefaan De Wolf is a profes
 sor at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in S
 audi Arabia\, where he focuses on high-efficiency silicon and perovskite s
 olar cells\, their combinations in tandem solar cells\, reliability aspect
 s\, as well as photovoltaics for harsh climates. He is Clarivate Highly Ci
 ted Researcher since 2019.
