[36] Mesoporous Perovskite Solar CellsRecently, a new generation of photovoltaic converters, mesoporous solar cell [37] has attracted more consideration due to their low material cost, simple fabrication process, high energy conversion efficiencies, [38] like dye-sensitized solar cell, [38c] and mesoporous perovskite solar cell. [5a,21,39] PCE up to 9.7% has been achieved by using CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPbI 3 ) perovskite nanocrystals as the light absorber to fabricate a solid-state MPSC.

“…They can acquire expensive smallscale units to directly feed their needs, which are limited to their rooftop and land area, or cheaper large-scale units connected to the high voltage grid of the distribution grid. The maturity of the solar PV technology and its mass production (scale economy) makes Portugal achieve the record of the lowest auction's price of 11.40 €/MWh [58,60]. However, depending on local capacity factors the values of large-scale solar PV can go until 30 €/MWh [27][28][29][30]58,60].…”

Global warming contributes to the worldwide goal of a sustainable carbon-neutral society. Currently, hydroelectric, wind and solar power plants are the most competitive renewable technologies. They are limited to the primary resource availability, but while hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) can have storage capacity but have several geographical limitations, wind and solar power plants have variable renewable energy (VRE) with stochastic profiles, requiring a substantially higher investment when equipped with battery energy storage systems. One of the most affordable solutions to compensate the stochastic behaviour of VRE is the active participation of consumers with demand response capability. Therefore, the role of citizen energy communities (CECs) can be important towards a carbon-neutral society. This work presents the economic and environmental advantages of CECs, by aggregating consumers, prosumers and VRE at the distribution level, considering microgrid trades, but also establishing bilateral agreements with large-scale VRE and HPPs, and participating in electricity markets. Results from the case-study prove the advantages of CECs and self-consumption. Currently, CECs have potential to be carbon-neutral in relation to electricity consumption and reduce consumers’ costs with its variable term until 77%. In the future, electrification may allow CECs to be fully carbon-neutral, if they increase their flexibility portfolio.

Organic−inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have shown significant progress in the last few years having achieved efficiencies over 25% at the lab scale. The sequential deposition technique has provided a robust approach in the perovskite film fabrication. However, obtaining a reproducible and quality perovskite film has always been challenging because of the highly crystalline and ordered (001) oriented underlying PbI 2 film. Here, we report a simple solution approach to fabricate a PbI 2 residue-free, superior grade perovskite film by using a compositional engineered PbI 2 −precursor solution. We demonstrate that the Pb−precursor film crystallized into a R-centered Hexagonal metric lattice with (h0l), (hk0), and (00l) orientations provides a more efficient and quicker conversion into perovskites compared to conventional (001) oriented 2H-PbI 2 . A porous and multi-oriented PbI 2 film is prepared by rationally incorporating a volumetric fraction of Pb(Ac) 2 •3H 2 O in the typical PbI 2 /dimethylformamide precursor solution, which significantly improves the surface features of PbI 2 as well as the structural properties. As a result, a compact, smooth, and large grain perovskite can be obtained by accomplishing a full conversion with comparatively much less reaction time. Furthermore, a comprehensive mechanism of structural modification of PbI 2 and the role of its orientation in ameliorating the reaction kinetics has been demonstrated.
