“…In contrast to the X-ray diffraction spectrum of the layer produced by vapor-assisted crystallization, the X-ray diffraction features of the AD-processed sample generally show less intensity and, simultaneously, a broader width of the peaks. From both of these observations a smaller average grain size can be concluded [ 41 ].…”

We present the successful fabrication of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite layers by the aerosol deposition method (ADM). The layers show high structural purity and compactness, thus making them suitable for application in perovskite-based optoelectronic devices. By using the aerosol deposition method we are able to decouple material synthesis from layer processing. Our results therefore allow for enhanced and easy control over the fabrication of perovskite-based devices, further paving the way for their commercialization.

“…01-075-0576) are discernible at the 27 and 41% surface coverages indicating no potential chemical reaction between ZnO and SnO 2 :F (within the X-ray detection limits) during the spray pyrolysis process. Since elastic strain and crystallite size effects could not be properly disentangled, only the Scherrer formula 55 is used to compute the average crystallite size (L c ) for different crystallographic orientations. The crystallite size varies from 15 to 55 nm (see Figure 4b).…”

Enhancing the propagation length of light without sacrificing the electro-optical properties of transparent electrodes is of particular interest to solar cells for reaching higher efficiency. This can typically be achieved by nanostructured electrodes but all too often at the expense of complexity and cost-effectiveness. In this work, we demonstrate the simple and low-cost fabrication of a new type of ZnO-SnO2:F nanocomposite thin film by combining spin-coated ZnO nanoparticles on glass with fluorine-doped SnO2 thin films deposited by atmospheric spray pyrolysis. The resulting nanocomposites exhibit a dual surface morphology featuring rough ZnO-SnO2:F nanostructures along with the original smooth SnO2:F thin film. By readily modulating the surface morphology of ZnO-SnO2:F nanocomposite thin films with the initial ZnO NP surface coverage, the scattering efficiency of the incident light can remarkably be controlled over the 400-1100 nm solar spectrum wavelength range. High quality hazy ZnO-SnO2:F thin layers are therefore formed with an averaged haze factor ranging from 0.4 to 64.2% over the 400-1100 nm solar spectrum range while the sheet resistance is kept smaller than 15 Ω/sq for an average total optical transmittance close to 80%, substrate absorption and reflection included. Eventually, optical simulations using Fourier transform techniques are performed for computing the obtained haze factors and show good agreement with experimental data in the 400-1100 nm solar spectrum wavelength range. This opens up additional opportunities for further design optimization of nanoengineered transparent electrodes.
