Objective: The present study is focusing on the role of surfactant in photogalvanic cells and how photons from sunlight can be used as a driving force for energy solar energy conversion and storage. Methods: An H shaped cell was designed for study of electrical output in solar transformations. Electrical circuit was proposed by using of dye, reductant, surfactant, NaOH, double distilled water (DDW), multi-meter, calomel electrode, 250 k roistered, saturated calomel electrode, platinum electrode, carbon pot, resistance key, digital pH meter, microammeter, and 200 W tungsten bulb. A detailed reaction mechanism for the proposed photogalvanic cell (PG Cell) for generating photocurrent and photocurrent has been studied. PG Cells were studied for the solar energy transformation system. Findings: PG Cells were studied by using different parameters via photocurrent, photopotential, conversion efficiency, fill factor and cell performance. The above values are as follows: 388.0 □A, 1141.0 mV, 0.7995%, 0.5389 and 129.0 minutes. Electrical output of the cell has also been observed for tartrazine, D-Fructose and lauryl glucoside systems. Potential at power point, Potential at open circuit, power point of cell (pp) and current at short circuit were also studied. The obtained values are as follows: 1133 mV, 1523 mV, 435.321 and 544µA. Novelty: The photogalvanic is an emerging field of research for conversion and storage of solar energy. This study employs lauryl glucoside-tartrazine-D-fructose system for better electrical output which is also an eco-friendly natural dye system. The observed results are better in cell performance (t 1/2 ) and reduction in cost (INR 9531.38 / USD 125) of the photogalvanic cell for its commercial viability.

“…The ITO anti-reflection layer is a conductive transparent substrate that can be used as a medium for the fabrication of PSC and the front contact of this device. Thus, the ITO anti-reflection layer should have good conductivity, high transmission, and good adhesion [37]. The TiO 2 ETL is a medium where the MAPbI 3 perovskite layer is deposited, creating a mesoporous interface for electron injection.…”

Light absorption enhancement of perovskite solar cells by a modified anti-reflection layer with corrugated void-like nanostructure using finite difference time domain methods

Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have become a growing research interest due to their flexibility, attractive properties, and low production cost. However, the thin-film structure of PSC often results in a not fully absorbed incident light by the active layer, which is crucial to determine PSC efficiency. Thus, the fabrication of an active layer with unique nanostructures is often used to enhance light absorption and general PSC efficiency. Using the theoretical simulation based-on Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique, this work demonstrates the successful improvement of light absorption by embedding corrugated void-like structure and perovskite thickness modification. The investigation of a corrugated void-type anti-reflection layer effect on light absorption is done by modifying the radius (r) and lattice constant (a) to obtain the optimum geometry. In addition, the MAPbI3 perovskite layer thickness is also adjusted to examine the optimum light absorption within the visible length to near-infrared. The theoretical calculations show that the optimum r = 692 nm and a = 776 nm. Meanwhile, the optimum absorber layer thickness is 750 nm. Compared to flat PSC, our proposed PSC absorbed more light, especially in the near-infrared region. Our result shows demonstrates the successful enhancement of light absorption by embedding corrugated void-like structure and modifying the perovskite thickness using a theoretical simulation based on the FDTD technique.

In this paper, a combined three-dimensional (3D) optical-electrical simulation of non-pb and flexible four-terminal (4T) all perovskite tandem solar cell (APTSC) is presented. In this structure, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used as substrates, while the top sub cell has a $$MAGeI_{3}$$ M A G e I 3 absorber layer and the bottom sub cell has a $$MASnI_{3}$$ M A S n I 3 absorber layer. This structure is used as a reference in this paper and the optical and electrical properties of it are investigated using the finite element method (FEM). It is shown that this structure has a total power conversion efficiency (PCE) of $$24.65\%$$ 24.65 % . Then, the elimination of the buffer layer and the addition of antireflection layer (ARL) strategies, as well as the use of periodic nano-texture patterns, are used to increase the reference structure’s total PCE. A free-buffer layer tandem device is presented to minimize the parasitic absorption. While the total PCE is improved by $$1.14\%$$ 1.14 % in this case, one of the fabrication steps is also eliminated. A plasma-polymer-fluorocarbon (PPFC) coating layer is suggested as ARL on the substrates of both sub cells to reduce reflection loss. With optimized these layers thickness, total PCE is increased by $$12.76\%$$ 12.76 % . Because the PPFC layer is hydrophobic, the top surface of two sub cells in this structure has self-cleaning characteristic. As a result, this device offers long-term moisture resistance. Finally, the best structure in terms of the maximum total PCE is presented by increasing optical path-length utilizing nano-photonic and nano-plasmonic structures. The final structure is offered as a 4T tandem solar cell (TSC) that is environmentally friendly, extremely flexible, and has self-cleaning capability, with a total PCE of $$30.14\%$$ 30.14 % , which is greater than the total PCE of the reference structure by $$22.27\%$$ 22.27 % .
