Grain Boundary Defect Passivation Of Mixed Cation Perovskite Solar Cell To Improve Device Performance, Sheikh Ifatur Rahman Jan 2020

Grain Boundary Defect Passivation Of Mixed Cation Perovskite Solar Cell To Improve Device Performance, Sheikh Ifatur Rahman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Rigorous research on perovskite solar cell for more than ten years all over the world has led the rapid development of perovskite technology giving us device efficiency of 25.2%, surpassing the performance of traditional thin-film solar technologies on small scale devices (<1cm2). Perovskite material has excellent electronic and optical properties making it greatly suitable for PV application. The device fabrication process being simple with low cost and solution processability has led the researchers to visualize high efficiency scalable devices. Due to solution process fabrication method the defects in the materials causes the devices perform less than anticipated. These …
