Fabrication And Characterization Of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells, Hojjatollah Sarvari Jan 2018

Fabrication And Characterization Of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells, Hojjatollah Sarvari

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

Solar energy as the most abundant source of energy is clean, non-pollutant, and completely renewable, which provides energy security, independence, and reliability. Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) revolutionized the photovoltaics field not only by showing high efficiency of above 22% in just a few years but also by providing cheap and facile fabrication methods.

In this dissertation, fabrication of PSCs in both ambient air conditions and environmentally controlled N2-filled glove-box are studied. Several characterization methods such as SEM, XRD, EDS, Profilometry, four-point probe measurement, EQE, and current-voltage measurements were employed to examine the quality of thin films …
