Perovskite solar cells have become the fastest advancing solar technology to date. With only a few years of comprehensive research, laboratory demonstrations have shown power conversions above 20% efficiencies. Various methods for printing perovskite solar cells exist. This thesis explores the microplot method of printing using the novel Sonoplot Microplotter II instrument. The focus of the thesis is on utilizing the combinatorial approach to systematically investigate the experimental parameters including, substrate properties and temperature, humidity, printing speed, feature width, and annealing which greatly affect the printing process outcomes critical for the resulting solar cells performance. It was found that printing parameters had significant impact on the film thickness and edge qualities such as higher printing speeds and larger feature widths created a more uniform film. The annealing parameters impacted the crystal growth and density in such a way that higher annealing temperatures created more dense films and resulted in films with larger crystal sizes.
