“…According to the different arrangement orders of ETL and HTL, PSCs architecture can be divided into two types: n-i-p and p-i-n structure ( Basumatary and Agarwal, 2022 ). Due to the difference of ETL structure, n-i-p type PSCs structure contains the planar structure and mesoporous structure.…”

Electron transport layer (ETL), one of the important layers for high-performing perovskite solar cells (PSCs), also has great potential in bioengineering applications. It could be used for biological sensors, biological imaging, and biomedical treatments with high resolution or efficiency. Seldom research focused on the development of biological material for ETL and their application in biological uses. This review will introduce commercial and biological materials used in ETL to help readers understand the working mechanism of ETL. And the ways to prepare ETL at low temperatures will also be introduced to improve the performance of ETL. Then this review summarizes the latest research on material doping, material modification, and bilayer ETL structures to improve the electronic transmission capacity of ETLs. Finally, the application of ETLs in bioengineering will be also shown to demonstrate that ETLs and their used material have a high potential for biological applications.

Presently, we inquire about the organic/inorganic cation effect on different properties based on structure, morphology, and steadiness in preparing a one-step solution of APbI3 thin films, where A = MA, FA, Cs, using spin coating. This study was conducted to understand those properties well by incorporating device modeling using SCAPS-1D software and to upgrade their chemical composition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the crystal structures. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were conducted to characterize the surface morphology; photoluminescence, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and a UV–Visible spectrometer helped us to study the optical properties. The (110) plane is where we found the perovskite’s crystalline structure. According to the XRD results and by changing the type of cation, we influence stabilization and the growth of the APbI3 absorber layer. Hither, a homogenous, smooth-surfaced, pinhole-free perovskite film and large grain size are results from the cesium cation. For the different cations, the band gap’s range, revealed by the optical analysis, is from 1.4 to 1.8 eV. Moreover, the stability of CsPbI3 remains excellent for two weeks and in a ~60% humid environment. Based on the UV–Visible spectrometer and photoluminescence characterization, a numerical analysis for fabricated samples was also performed for stability analysis by modeling standard solar-cell structures HTL/APbI3/ETL. Modeling findings are in good agreement with experimental results that CsPbI3 is more stable, showing a loss % in PCE of 14.28%, which is smaller in comparison to FAPbI3 (44.46%) and MAPbI3 (20.24%).

With the awareness of using clean and sustainable energy, the utilization of solar power is of great importance in human society. Following the trend, solar cells are required to have higher and higher power conversion efficiency. Contemporarily, perovskite materials, as a new type of materials for construction of solar cells, exhibits great potential to have high efficiency. This article focuses on the methods on improving power conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells and discusses the limitation of recent technologies and industrial applications, and the future prospect of perovskite solar cells. To be specific, all the methods are focusing on the selection of materials suitable for cells design, from CsSnI3 to lead-based organic materials, the efficiencies have increased significantly. The method of stacking perovskite solar cells to make tandem solar cells improved efficiencies among all the methods. Meanwhile, the toxicity, low stability and difficulties in large-scale application are the main limitations for perovskite solar cells. For the future studies, it is important to search for materials with low toxicity and high stability. The technology for improving efficiency of large-scale solar cells is also required. These results provide a guideline for the future study in perovskite solar cells.
