Development Of Efficient Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells With Composition And Interface Engineering, Khan Mamun Reza Jan 2021

Development Of Efficient Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells With Composition And Interface Engineering, Khan Mamun Reza

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Metal halide perovskites are considered the most promising solar energy technology because of their distinct properties, such as defect tolerance, low cost, easy fabrication due to solution-processibility, band tunability, etc. Due to these properties, the efficiency of perovskite solar cells reaches more than 25% and approaches the limit of singlejunction within last few years. To increase the efficiency further in a more cost-effective way, double junction tandem solar cells with an efficient ‘top’ wide-bandgap cell is desired. But wide-bandgap perovskites still face some critical issues, such as poor morphology, smaller grain size, the formation of excessive lead halides, light-induced halide …


Enhanced Charge Carrier Dynamics And Defects Passivation In Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cell Using A Novel Organic Halide Salt, Md Ashuqur Rahman Laskar Jan 2020

Enhanced Charge Carrier Dynamics And Defects Passivation In Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cell Using A Novel Organic Halide Salt, Md Ashuqur Rahman Laskar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the last few years, active research works on hybrid perovskite solar cells (HPSCs) have been going on throughout the world as a part of clean energy revolution. HPSCs have already proved their potentiality as future solar technology through their promising photovoltaic performances and ability for low temperature based solution processing. Nevertheless, still there are remaining challenges of better charge carrier dynamics and defects minimization in HPSCs. Overcoming these challenges are very important to achieve high power conversion efficiency (PCE) practically. Aiming this, a novel organic halide salt called Phenylhydrazinium Iodide (PHAI) is introduced as additive with CH3NH …
