“…Planar structure uses multiple stacked thin layers, such as the photoactive perovskite layer is sandwiched between the HTL and ETL. As the detail investigations of basic principles, fabrication protocols, materials and methods of PSCs are beyond the scope of current study, for more details we encourage readers to refer to recently published reviews [ 59 , 60 , 61 ].…”

Application of MXene materials in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has attracted considerable attention owing to their supreme electrical conductivity, excellent carrier mobility, adjustable surface functional groups, excellent transparency and superior mechanical properties. This article reviews the progress made so far in using Ti3C2TxMXene materials in the building blocks of perovskite solar cells such as electrodes, hole transport layer (HTL), electron transport layer (ETL) and perovskite photoactive layer. Moreover, we provide an outlook on the exciting opportunities this recently developed field offers, and the challenges faced in effectively incorporating MXene materials in the building blocks of PSCs for better operational stability and enhanced performance.

“…Regardless of the PSC high efficiency, there is a lack of reasons for PSC degradation and instability which is an obstacle for commercialization in our life. Therefore, there is a need for more information about the cell for further improvement in performance and stability [14] and must take the minimum recombination and maximum separation of charges considerable for higher performance [15]. Consequently, based on previous studies, this review introduces various PSC structures and the techniques of this new technology, makes a comparison between them to get the points of shortage to be able to optimize this technology and determine the most promising and reliable materials, structures that help to get the best performance in the future work.…”

With the fast progress of solar cells efficiency in the last few years, hybrid organic/inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) became a center point of research for a lot of solar cell researchers. The perovskite materials show different merits like longer carrier diffusion lengths, wider-tunable bandgap in addition to higher potential of light absorption. The higher efficiency together with the cheaper fabrication methods makes perovskite solar cells comparable with Si-based solar cells. The PSCs efficiency has a remarkable increase from 3.8% to more than 25.2 %. There is a great need for an overall understanding of the function of each of the solar cell components and its impact on cell efficiency and performance. This review starts with the discussion of perovskite structure (electronic and crystal) based on recent research. The working principles and the fabrication methods of PSCs are also introduced. PSCs evaluation is also analyzed and presented with more details regarding modelling approaches and simulation tools.

“…Recently, many experimental reports have indicated that the NFRHT can exceed the blackbody limit for a plane-plane configuration [33][34][35][36][37][38]. Therefore, NFRHT is of great significance in a variety of engineering applications, such as energy management [17,[39][40][41][42], sensing, and micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEMS) [43][44][45][46].…”

Effective Approximation Method for Nanogratings-induced Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer

et al. 2022

Nanoscale radiative thermal transport between a pair of metamaterial gratings is studied within this work. The effective medium theory (EMT), a traditional method to calculate the near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) between nanograting structures, does not account for the surface pattern effects of nanostructures. Here, we introduce the effective approximation NFRHT method that considers the effects of surface patterns on the NFRHT. Meanwhile, we calculate the heat flux between a pair of silica (SiO2) nanogratings with various separation distances, lateral displacements, and grating heights with respect to one another. Numerical calculations show that when compared with the EMT method, here the effective approximation method is more suitable for analyzing the NFRHT between a pair of relatively displaced nanogratings. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that compared with the result based on the EMT method, it is possible to realize an inverse heat flux trend with respect to the nanograting height between nanogratings without modifying the vacuum gap calculated by this effective approximation NFRHT method, which verifies that the NFRHT between the side faces of gratings greatly affects the NFRHT between a pair of nanogratings. By taking advantage of this effective approximation NFRHT method, the NFRHT in complex micro/nano-electromechanical devices can be accurately predicted and analyzed.
