202100070people's livelihoods. According to IRENA's annual energy-related CO 2 emission calculation for 2019, the earth's CO 2 emissions will be 33 Gt by 2050. Three potential solutions include electrification of transportation, massive amounts of renewable energy installations, and increased energy efficiency. As a result, CO 2 emissions can be reduced by 70%, resulting in 9.8 Gt in 2050. [1] Among these, increased renewable energy production is thought to play a significant role in CO 2 reduction. Taking this into consideration, all countries began investing in the production and installation of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower, among others. [2] Among the various renewable energy sources, solar is seen as the most promising and widely available. As a result, significant research is being conducted to improve the performance of solar PV. Silicon (Si) photovoltaics (PV) is the dominant solar PV technology, with a good power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability. [3] However, the production of Si PV manufacturing is a time-consuming process and with a production of 40 g CO 2 eq kWh −1 . [4,5] Given that this research is aimed at identifying alternative PV materials with lower material utilization, lower cost, and ease of processing. Perovskite PV has achieved a remarkable PCE of 25.6% in a few years of research with easy processability and negligible CO 2 emissions. [6] As a result, it is assumed to be a Si PV technology alternative. Several solar cell manufacturing companies, including Oxford PV, [7] Solliance, [8] wonder solar, [9] Solaronix, [10] Saule technologies, [11] have emerged in recent years, indicating that perovskite PV is a promising future PV technology.Considering the need to transition to renewable technology and contribute to the global CO 2 emission reduction target, the Indian government also announced 100 and 300 Giga Watt (GW) solar photovoltaic (PV) installation targets for 2022 and 2030, respectively. [12,13] India currently has approximately 35 GW of installed PV capacity, the vast majority of which is based on crystalline-silicon (c-Si) technology. [14] India's solar photovoltaics production capacity is 3.2 GW cell manufacturing and 8.4 GW module manufacturing. [15] Polysilicon, ingot, and wafer are upstream supply chain components that are not manufactured in India at a large scale. India imports a massive portion of wafers, cells, and modules consumed in India. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply chain disruptions in recent years, resulting in a significant drop in Indian solar PV In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 25.5%, indicating that they are a promising alternative to dominant Si photovoltaic (PV) technology. This technology is expected to solve the world's energy demand with minimal investment and very low CO 2 emissions. The market has shown a lot of interest in PSCs technology. A technoeconomic analysis is a useful tool for tracking manufacturing costs and forecast...

“…Solar cells based on halide perovskites (HPs) have been actively studied in the past few years due to their excellent optoelectronic properties, low fabrication cost, and potential to be integrated into energy-efficient smart windows and other building technologies. [1][2][3][4][5] Following the seminal works in 2012 which demonstrated efficient all-solid-state HP devices, [6][7][8] systematic improvements of the materials configuration and morphology, [9][10][11][12][13] coupled with the development of new chargetransporting layers, [14][15][16][17] have resulted in certified power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of over 25 %, [18] rivalling those of conventional silicon-based devices. As a consequence, after less than a decade of intense research, HP solar cells are now considered as a promising technological alternative and various attempts have been carried out in terms of upscaling, stability enhancement and materials development with less toxicity profile, so that the industrial production and commercialization of the technology can be realized.…”

Surface imperfections created during fabrication of halide perovskite (HP) films could induce formation of various defect sites that affect device performance and stability. In this work, all-organic surface modifiers consisting of alkylammonium cations and alkanoate anions are introduced on top of the HP layer to passivate interfacial vacancies and improve moisture tolerance. Passivation using alkylammonium alkanoate does not induce formation of low-dimensional perovskites species. Instead, the organic species only passivate the perovskite's surface and grain boundaries, which results in enhanced hydrophobic character of the HP films. In terms of photovoltaic application, passivation with alkylammonium alkanoate allows significant reduction in recombination losses and enhancement of open-circuit voltage. Alongside unchanged short-circuit current density, power conversion efficiencies of more than 18.5 % can be obtained from the treated sample. Furthermore, the unencapsulated device retains 85 % of its initial PCE upon treatment, whereas the standard 3D perovskite device loses 50 % of its original PCE when both are subjected to ambient environment over 1500 h.

Tin chalcogenides (SnS, SnSe and SnTe) are found to have improved thermoelectric properties upon the reduction of their dimensionality. Here we found the tilted AA + s stacked twodimensional (2D) SnTe bilayer as the most stable phase among several stackings as predicted by the structural optimization and phonon transport properties. The carrier mobility and relaxation time are evaluated using the deformation potential theory -these are found to be relatively high due to the high 2D elastic modulus, low deformation potential constant and moderate effective masses. The SnTe bilayer shows high Seebeck coefficient (> 400 μV/K), high electrical conductivity and ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (< 1.91 Wm -1 K -1 ). High TE figure of merit (ZT) values, as high as 4.61 along zigzag direction, are predicted for SnTe bilayer within the carrier concentration range of the order 10 12 -10 13 cm -2 . These ZT values are much enhanced as compared to the bulk as well as monolayer SnTe and other 2D compounds.
