Enhanced Photocatalytic Water Splitting of SrTiO3 Perovskite through Cobalt Doping: Experimental and Theoretical DFT Understanding

“…Following their migration to the photocatalyst surface, the photogenerated electron–hole pairs subsequently start redox reactions with the water molecules that have been adsorbed in the active sites, as presented in Figure a. In global water splitting, the semiconductor photocatalysts are used to decompose H 2 O molecules to H 2 and O 2 simultaneously, according to eqs –. ,, H 2 normalO + 2 h + → 2 H + + 1 2 O 2 2 H + + 2 e − → H 2 H 2 normalO → H 2 + 1 2 O 2 …”

Solution-processed next generation thin film solar cells for indoor light applications

“…168,169 Perovskites generally follow the ABX 3 cubic structural framework where A cation (organic/ inorganic) is positioned at the corners of the cube, B cation (metal) is body-centered, and X are halide ions positioned at the face-centered of the cubic structure, as shown in figure 9. 170 Metal halide perovskites have a broad absorption range, long charge carrier diffusion length, high extinction coefficient, and high carrier mobility, qualifying it as an excellent light absorber material for solar cells. [171][172][173][174][175] Also, the perovskite materials possess unique defect tolerance capability, tunable bandgap, and are solution processable at low temperatures.…”

A Theoretical Study to Investigate the Impact of Bilayer Interfacial Modification in Perovskite Solar Cell

“…The metal-halide perovskite has triggered revolutionary research due to its low-cost production and extraordinary optoelectronic properties. [1][2][3][4] In contrast, perovskites also exhibit additional characteristics such as substantially low rates of non-radiative recombination, strong absorption, and strong luminescence yield, which facilitates high photovoltage for excellent device efficiency. [5,6] Such properties and performances are due to the lower deep-level trapping, higher crystallinity, and higher tolerance for the defects.…”
