We for the first time report incorporation of cobalt into a mesoporous TiO2 electrode application in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The Co-doped PSC exhibits excellent optoelectronic properties; we explain improvements by passivation electronic trap or sub-band-gap states arising due to oxygen vacancies pristine TiO2, enabling faster electron transport and collection. A simple postannealing treatment is used prepare cobalt-doped electrode; UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission space...

The performance of perovskite solar cell (PSC) is highly sensitive to deposition conditions, the substrate, humidity, and efficiency solvent extraction. However, physical mechanism involved in observed changes with different conditions has not been elucidated yet. In this work, PSCs were fabricated by antisolvent (AD) recently proposed air-extraction (AAD) process. Impedance analysis J–V curve fitting used analyze photogeneration, charge transportation, recombination, leakage properties...

The procedure employed for the sensitization of mesoporous photoanodes affects strongly final performance sensitized devices, especially when semiconductor quantum dots and rods are used as sensitizers. In this work effect three different sensitizing methods in cell was analyzed. TiO2 films were with CdS QDs grown by successive ionic layer adsorption reaction, SILAR, CdSe deposited electrophoretic pipetting methods. Several configurations sensitizers combinations tested. 4% photoconversion...

Theoretical studies have identified cesium titanium bromide (Cs2TiBr6), a vacancy-ordered double perovskite, as promising lead-free and earth-abundant candidate to replace Pb-based perovskites in photovoltaics. Our research is focused on overcoming the limitations associated with current Cs2TiBr6 syntheses, which often involve high-vacuum high-temperature evaporation techniques, high-energy milling, or intricate multistep solution processes conducted under an inert atmosphere, constraints...

High defect concentrations at the interfaces are basis of charge extraction losses and instability in perovskite solar cells. Surface engineering with organic cations is a common practice to solve this issue. However, full implications counteranions these for device functioning often neglected. In work, we used 4-fluorophenethylammonium cation varying halide modification both methylammonium-free Pb-based n-i-p devices, observing significant differences among iodide, bromide, chloride. The...

A multilayered semiconductor sensitizer structure composed of three differently sized CdSe quantum rods (QRs), labeled as Q530, Q575, Q590, were prepared and deposited on the surface mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for photovoltaic applications. By varying arrangement layers well time EPD, photoconversion efficiency was improved from 2.0% with single layer QRs (TiO2/Q590/ZnS) to 2.9% multilayers (TiO2/Q590Q575/ZnS). The optimal EPD shorter structures. effect...
