We report on the modification of structural, optical, electrical and dielectric properties of the electron transport layer (ETL) of Perovskite solar cell (PSC) i.e. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) by adding Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn) and Silver (Ag) impurities in it through Sol-gel method. Modified parameters are studied with the help of X-Ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, electrical and dielectric measurements by two probe method respectively. Fascinating results have been obtained in modified Mg-TiO2, Zn-TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 such as enhanced transmittance (T), reduction in refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), Urbach energy (EU), an increase in DC conductivity, dielectric constant (ϵ) and AC conductivity. The conductivity in modified TiO2 follows the order Ag-TiO2 > Zn-TiO2 > Mg-TiO2 > TiO2. The prepared samples are utilized in PSC device fabrication and the increased efficiency following the same order as conductivity suggests the idea of doping in ETL successful in solar cell application.
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.
