“…The conductivity of ZnO, and consequently its collection efficiency https://www.indjst.org/ of electrons, can be increased by doping (8) . Nowadays, among several kinds of transparent conductive oxides (TCO), ZnO:Al meets the requirements for contacting thin-film solar cells (9)(10)(11) . This is due to its abundance in nature, low cost and non-toxicity.…”

Objectives: The aim of this work is to fabricate and analyze the Aluminum Doped ZnO, Copper Oxide CuO and their heterojunction CuO/ZnO:Al using Spin Coating and Rf-Sputtering techniques. Methods: ZnO:Al was synthesized from a sol-gel precursor and deposited on Indium Tin Oxide-coated glass substrate ITO using spin coating. CuO thin films, on the other hand, were elaborated by RF-sputtering. The characterization of both thin films was performed by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-visible-NIR double beam spectrophotometer. The CuO/ZnO:Al heterojunction was fabricated and characterized using current voltage, capacitance-voltage and conductancevoltage measurements. Findings: The collected results confirm the rectifying nature of the junction with a built-in voltage V bi of about 1.6 V.

“…Several solutions have been proposed to improve the stability of the cells. In particular, the partial substitution of iodine by bromine improves the stability of the hybrid perovskite [59]. Mckeee et al showed that the mixed bromideiodide halide perovskite FA 0.83 Cs 0.17 Pb (I 0.6 Br 0.4 ) 3 , enhances the photo-stability and the thermal stability of cells made with this absorber [60].…”

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies undergoing rapid developments. PSC efficiency has reached 25.2% in only seven years, which is close to the record efficiency of silicon solar cells. In addition, the use of PSCs in tandem solar cells either in the 4-terminal or monolithic configuration, can lead to a significant increase conversion efficiency. However, the stability and the scalability are the main issues that still hinder the commercialization of the perovskite technology.The present review focusses on the recent development in perovskite solar cells materials, cell architectures and fabrication methods and their effect on the conversion efficiency and stability of the devices. In addition, solutions proposed to overcome the main challenges and to make tandem solar cells are discussed.

“…Thus, other interface materials are required. There are many n-type metal oxides such as zinc oxide (ZnO) [ 17 , 18 ], titanium oxide (TiO x ) [ 19 , 20 ], and tin oxide (SnO 2 ) [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], which has a low work function, and improves the electron extraction ability when used as the interlayer. However, in order to achieve good material quality, these metal oxides usually require a high temperature process, which is not suitable for the p-i-n structure in PSCs because the high process temperature will destroy the underlying perovskite materials.…”

Improving Electron Extraction Ability and Device Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells Using a Compatible PCBM/AZO Electron Transporting Bilayer

Due to the low temperature fabrication process and reduced hysteresis effect, inverted p-i-n structured perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with the PEDOT:PSS as the hole transporting layer and PCBM as the electron transporting layer have attracted considerable attention. However, the energy barrier at the interface between the PCBM layer and the metal electrode, which is due to an energy level mismatch, limits the electron extraction ability. In this work, an inorganic aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) interlayer is inserted between the PCBM layer and the metal electrode so that electrons can be collected efficiently by the electrode. It is shown that with the help of the PCBM/AZO bilayer, the power conversion efficiency of PSCs is significantly improved, with negligible hysteresis and improved device stability. The UPS measurement shows that the AZO interlayer can effectively decrease the energy offset between PCBM and the metal electrode. The steady state photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence, transient photocurrent, and transient photovoltage measurements show that the PSCs with the AZO interlayer have a longer radiative carrier recombination lifetime and more efficient charge extraction efficiency. Moreover, the introduction of the AZO interlayer could protect the underlying perovskite, and thus, greatly improve device stability.
