Fabrication And Characterization Of Perovskite Structures For Solar Cell Applications, Asma Obaid Said Al Ghaithi

Physics Theses

Solution-processing organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have emerged as new generation and promising light-harvesting materials for photovoltaic technology and photonic applications such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and laser. The aim of this thesis is to boost the power conversion efficiency of planer perovskite solar cell by either using perovskite structure layer, or by doping perovskite thin film with metal ion to enhance the morphological, structure and optical properties of the perovskite thin film.

The first proposed perovskite layer is based on CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ and was fabricated using one step self-assembly method. The method is appropriate to produce CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ microstructures in form …
