A comprehensive review of the current progresses and material advances in perovskite solar cells

Abstract

Recently, the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted ample consideration of the photovoltaic community owing to their continually-increasing power conversion efficiency (PCE), viable solution-processed methods and inexpensive materials ingredients. Over...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of MAPbX3‐Based Perovskites (X=Cl, Br, I) for Photovoltaic Applications

“…[ 22 , 23 ] The primary factor that leads to the sharp increase in the performance efficiency of photovoltaics within a short period is the hybrid concept where both inorganic and organic solar cells are utilized based on efficient operation principles. [ 24 , 25 ] Secondly, relatively more straightforward fabrication techniques provided a vital pathway toward economic solar energy alternatives. [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] Thus, the perovskite solar cells have attained higher efficiency because of the possible optoelectronic properties such as tuneable band gap,[ 29 , 30 ] high absorption coefficient over the solar spectrum,[ 27 , 31 ] the low exciton binding energy (BE)[ 32 , 33 ] and effective charge transport characteristics.…”

The dawn of MXene duo: revolutionizing perovskite solar cells with MXenes through computational and experimental methods

“…Other than these materials, morphological variation or thickness variation of films, doping effect or induced dipoles using polymers or heterostructures materials as a core–shell or hetero structures with plasmonic nanomaterial, or combination with graphene or other 2D materials in a conventional ETL or HTL materials were carried out by different research groups to enhance the efficiency of PSC through improving charge carriers transport and reducing recombination rate. 163–166 The most common challenges reported for ETL material TiO 2 is that it undergoes high-temperature post-deposition treatment to achieve the anatase phase and surface modification. Similarly for HTL materials, low stability in harsh conditions, maintaining good solution process ability, potential issues with cost effectiveness and scalability exist as challenges.…”

Pressure-dependent physical properties of cesium–niobium oxide: a comprehensive study

“…17 Recently, the current progress in the material advances and stability of perovskite solar cells has been discussed comprehensively. 18,19 The tuning of ABO 3 by atomic concentration change 20 is easy and a major reason for the interest of materials scientists. 21,22 Solution-processed perovskite materials are regarded as one of the best candidates for atomic microscopy, ultrasound generators, fuel injectors, the piezoelectric 17 motor industry and charge-storage applications.…”
