The architectural design of flexible solar cell is generally based on a flexible plastic substrate coated with indium tin oxide (ITO). Due to the development of cracks on the fragile ITO, it tends to degrade drastically under hard bending conditions with approximately 4 mm bending radius which reduces the power conversion efficiency (PCE).
Emerging PCEs of flexible solar cells in the literature. Bending cycles decreased the PCE of the perovskite cell from 21% to 17%. For comparison, the certified PCE in this study of a 244.3 cm 2 c-Si wafer is also displayed. The dashed line indicates an efficiency boundary of 20%.
