The good electrical and morphological characteristics of TiO₂ nanofibers and the high extinction coefficient of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite are combined to obtain a solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 9.8%. The increase of the film thickness dramatically diminishes the performance due to the reduction in porosity of the TiO₂ nanofiber framework. The optimum device (∼413 nm film thickness) is compared to a planar device, where the latter produces higher V(oc) but lower J(sc), and consequently lower efficiency at all measured light intensities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
