In this work, compact titanitum dioxide (c-TiO2), amorphous titanitum dioxide (mp-TiO2) and methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) films were prepared by spin coating method under different different rotational speed of the CH3NH3PbI3 films. Many characterization measurements were achieved on the deposited CH3NH3PbI3 films in order to study the change that resulted from different parameters. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that the lattice constants of the fabricated CH3NH3PbI3 films were close to the slandered values. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were conducted in order to study the morphology of the fabricated CH3NH3PbI3 films at different scale, these results displayed that the grain size of the CH3NH3PbI3 films in the range between about 160nm to 210 nm. The field emiision scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) results of the fabricated CH3NH3PbI3 films were well agreed to the AFM result especially in the grains shape and distribution. Transmittance measurements have been done to determine the variation of the energy gap and absorption coefficient the CH3NH3PbI3 films. The structure form of the perovskite solar cells were FTO/c-TiO2/mp- TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/Au, the C-V measurements were achieved to determine the built-in potential, which found to have the highest value when using 4000 rpm during the synthesis of the perovskite layer. In addition, the I-V measurements in dark conditions have been conducted to compute the ideality factor and the saturation current, which are considered important parameters that influences the characteristics of the solar cells. The best solar cell efficiency was obtained at spinning speed of 4000 rpm.
In this work, perovskite solar cells were fabricated with one-step method by using spin coating technique. These solar cells were in the structure form of FTO/compactTiO2/mesoporousTiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/Au. Different annealing temperatures were applied to investigate the effect of the annealing temperature on the properties of the fabricated solar cells since it lead to affect the crystallization degree of the CH3NH3PbI3 layer. Three temperatures were used for annealing the perovskite layer typically: 60°C, 80°C and 100°C and the best result found at 100 °C where the efficiency was 5.68%, FF = 0.55, Jsc = 12.637 mA/cm2 and Voc = 0.817 V.
Theoretical investigations of organic molecules for the objective of their structural stability are the most important techniques in this regards. Recently calculations and simulation reactions utilizing theoretical studies become attractive conventional method for the researchers. Density function theory (DFT) method was used to study the reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-benzene diazonium chloride as electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. To study any reaction there are two explanations: first explanation depends on the reactant molecules and second explanation depends on the stability of the product molecules. Determine the stability of the molecule by comparing the energies (total energy, energy level of (HOMO), and energy gap), we have three stable molecules, are: HQ-7-YBAEE (II) for the total energy, HQ-6-YBAEE (II) for the energy level of (HOMO) and HQ-2-YBAEE (II) for the energy gap. The molecule HQ-4-YBAEE (II) is always at least stability in all data.
