Perovskites with d-block metals for solar energy applications

Abstract

In this review, we present the most characteristic photoactive perovskites that can be formed with the help of d-block metals.

The Role of Dimensionality on the Optoelectronic Properties of Oxide and Halide Perovskites, and their Halide Derivatives

“…[ 59,60 ] This was more efficient than the reference devices without PbTiO 3 , which was only 13.81% efficient. [ 59,60 ] The device structure was glass/F:SnO 2 /TiO 2 /PbTiO 3 /CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 /carbon nanotubes.…”

“…Some other compounds have provided a needle‐like phase, with a structure different from the perovskite structure, such as SrTiS 3 , SrZrS 3 , CaZrS 3 , BaZS 3 , CaHfS 3 , SrHfS 3 , and BaHfS 3 . [ 60,97 ]…”

“…Using a tandem Bi 2 FeCrO 6 absorber with three different band gaps, a solar cell conversion efficiency of 8.1% was demonstrated (Figure 4). [6] Other double perovskite systems are being investigated for their photovoltaic properties, such as A-site ordered CaMnTi 2 O 6 (predicted band gap of 1.7-2.9 eV), [62] Ba 2 SbV 1-x Ta x O 6 (1.0-1.6 eV band gap), [60] KBaTeBiO 6 (1.88 eV band gap), [63] Ln 2 NiMnO 6 (Ln = La, Eu, Dy, Lu) (1.08-1.19 eV band gap).

“…[ 6 ] Although significant progress has been made, these 2D HLHPs ferroelectric semiconductors are facing increasing concerns over environmental issues. [ 7 ]…”

Polarization-enhanced photoelectric performance in a molecular ferroelectric hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI5)-based solar device

“…Due to their outstanding photovoltaic performance, low-cost fabrication, and excellent mechanical exibility, organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells have drawn enormous attention in recent years. [1][2][3] Their power conversion efficiencies (PCE) have grown tremendously from the initial 3.8% to more than 20% in just a decade, 4,5 but still suffer from the serious photocorrosion issue, toxic Pb and low stability in air. Due to the good structural tolerance, great efforts have been devoted to replacing the inorganic or organic portion with the aim to overcome such shortages of organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites.…”
