Low-temperature perovskites thin films solar cell

Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites have become the most promising materials in photovoltaics. In just a few years, the energy conversion efficiency of hybrid perovskite solar cells has increased dramatically from an initial bright value of 9% to over 24%. Their remarkable properties, including high carrier mobility, low carrier recombination rate, and tunable spectral absorption range, are attributed to the unique electronic properties of these materials. Despite the undoubted progress in the conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells, understanding hybrid perovskites’ basic structural, optical, and electrical properties is limited. The presentation will include the research results on the relationship between low-temperature structural, electrical, and optical properties of multifunctional hybrid perovskite thin films produced by the unique physical vapor co-deposition (PVco-D) technique. The experimental study will be compared with theoretical simulations performed using SCAPS 1D software.
