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 …


Nanoscale Study Of Perovskite Solar Cells For Efficient Charge Transport, Nirmal Adhikari Jan 2016

Nanoscale Study Of Perovskite Solar Cells For Efficient Charge Transport, Nirmal Adhikari

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The effect of temperature, humidity and water on the grain boundary potential and charge transport within the grains of pervoskite films prepared by sequential deposition technique. Grain boundary potential of perovskite films exhibited variation in electrical properties with humidity level, temperature and water concentration in methyl ammonium iodide solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates the formation of PbI2 phase in perovskite film with increasing temperature, humidity and adding larger quantity of water in methyl ammonium iodide solution. It is found that optimum amount of lead iodide helps for the passivation of perovskite film. Spatial mapping of surface potential in the …
