Recently, a major research achievement published in the top international journal Science has brought breakthrough progress to the global photovoltaic industry — a new type of dual radical self-assembling molecular material developed by the research team of Qin Chuanjiang and Wang Lixiang at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully overcoming a key bottleneck in the industrialization process of perovskite solar cells. Behind this milestone achievement, Suzhou Honest Intelligent Technology, with its leading slit coating equipment technology, provides core support for the mass production validation of new materials, jointly advancing next-generation photovoltaic technology into a new stage of industrialization.

Perovskite solar cells, with their high efficiency, low cost, and solution-based processability, have long been recognized as the core development direction of next-generation photovoltaic technology. However, its path to industrialization has always been limited by multiple technical bottlenecks: traditional hole transport layers rely on high-cost materials and complex film-forming processes, resulting in poor thermal stability and interface contact stability; Current materials have insufficient carrier transport capacity and poor assembly uniformity, which easily degrade under actual working conditions and lead to rapid degradation of device efficiency; The immaturity of self-assembled molecular uniform film formation technology has severely restricted the performance improvement of large-area modules. These challenges are like layers of obstacles, hindering the transition of perovskite solar cells from the laboratory to large-scale production.

Facing industry challenges, the research team at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry has innovatively developed a new dual free radical-type self-assembling molecular material, achieving a historic breakthrough. This material uses molecular self-assembly technology to form a highly uniform thin film structure, fundamentally solving the density loss problem caused by disorderly stacking of traditional materials. Perovskite solar cells manufactured with this new material have reached world-class performance levels: small-area devices achieve photoelectric conversion efficiency of 26.3%, micromodule efficiency of 23.6%, and perovskite-crystalline silicon tandem cell efficiency surpasses 34.2%, laying a solid foundation for industrial application.

The successful mass production validation of this breakthrough material would not have been possible without the crucial support of Suzhou Honest Intelligent Technology. As a technology pioneer deeply rooted in the coating equipment field for many years, Honest Intelligent provides advanced slit coating equipment for the commissioning and research of this new dual radical self-assembling molecular material. It is precisely with the precise support of Honest Intelligent Equipment that the new materials have completed high-quality synthesis and performance validation, fully demonstrating their industrialization potential as "ready for mass production." This collaborative achievement not only confirms Honest Intelligent Equipment's technical strength in high-end new material processing, but also highlights its important role in driving technological innovation in the photovoltaic industry.

"This technology is ready for mass production," this conclusion reflects the innovative wisdom of the research team and the perfect integration of Honest intelligent device technology. Honest Intelligent has always adhered to the philosophy of "empowering industrial upgrading through technological innovation." With a deep understanding of precision coating processes and continuous R&D investment, its slit coating equipment achieves industry-leading standards in key indicators such as material uniformity and large-area processing stability, perfectly aligning with the stringent requirements for high-quality film preparation in perovskite solar cells.

This successful collaboration with the research team at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry is not only a strong testament to Honest Intelligent Equipment's technological strength, but also a vivid practice of the company's deep involvement in new energy technology innovation and helping achieve the "dual carbon" goals. In the future, Honest Intelligent will continue to focus on the technical needs of photovoltaic and other new energy fields, constantly upgrade core equipment technologies, provide reliable equipment support for the industrialization of more cutting-edge materials, and work hand in hand with research institutions and industry partners to jointly promote the large-scale application of next-generation photovoltaic technologies such as perovskite solar cells, contributing the strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing to the global energy transition.
