“…The remarkable optoelectronic capabilities of perovskite structures enable the achievement of astonishingly high-power conversion efficiencies on the laboratory scale. However, a critical bottleneck of perovskite solar cells is their sensitivity to the surrounding humid environment affecting drastically their long-term stability [13].…”

The search for renewable and sustainable energy for energy security and better environmental protection against hazardous emissions from petro-based fuels has gained significant momentum in the last decade. Towards this end, energy from the sun has proven to be reliable and inexhaustible. Therefore, better light harvesting technologies have to be sought. Herein, the current trends in the development of perovskite solar cells with a focus on device engineering, band alignment, device fabrication with superior light harvesting properties, and numerical simulation of solar cell architectures are critically reviewed. This work will form the basis for future scientist to have a better scientific background on the design of highly efficient solar cell devices, which are cost-effective to fabricate, highly stable, and eco-friendly. This review presents thorough essential information on perovskite solar cell technology and tracks methodically their technological performance overtime. The photovoltaic (PV) technology can help to reduce pollution related to greenhouse gas emissions, criterion pollutant emissions, and emissions from heavy metals and radioactive species by nearly 90%. Following the introduction of highly efficient perovskite solar cell (PSC) technologies, the problems associated with stability, short life-time and lead-based perovskite solar cell configurations have significantly been minimized. The fabrication and simulation of perovskite solar cells has been made possible with advanced technologies and state-of-the-art computational codes. Furthermore, device simulation strategies have lately been used to understand, select appropriate materials, and gain insights into solar cell devices’ physical behavior in order to improve their performances. Numerical simulation softwares such as the 1-dimenional solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D), Silvaco ATLAS, and wx-analysis of microelectronic and photonic structures (wxAMPS) used to understand the device engineering of solar cells are critically discussed. Because of the need to produce charge collection selectivity, hole transport materials (HTMs) as well as electron transport materials (ETMs) constitute essential PSC components. In this work, the synthesis of inorganic HTMs, as well as their characteristics and uses in various PSCs comprising mesoporous and planar designs, are explored in detail. It is anticipated that the performance of inorganic HTLs on PSCs would encourage further research which will have a significant influence on the future designs and fabrication of highly efficient solar cells.

Hybrid Mesoporous TiO2/ZnO Electron Transport Layer for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cell

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained major attention as potentially useful photovoltaic technology due to their ever-increasing power-conversion efficiency (PCE). The efficiency of PSCs depends strongly on the type of materials selected as the electron transport layer (ETL). TiO2 is the most widely used electron transport material for the n-i-p structure of PSCs. Nevertheless, ZnO is a promising candidate owing to its high transparency, suitable energy band structure, and high electron mobility. In this investigation, hybrid mesoporous TiO2/ZnO ETL was fabricated for a perovskite solar cell composed of FTO-coated glass/compact TiO2/mesoporous ETL/FAPbI3/2D perovskite/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au. The influence of ZnO nanostructures with different percentage weight contents on the photovoltaic performance was investigated. It was found that the addition of ZnO had no significant effect on the surface topography, structure, and optical properties of the hybrid mesoporous electron-transport layer but strongly affected the electrical properties of PSCs. The best efficiency rate of 18.24% has been obtained for PSCs with 2 wt.% ZnO.
