Metal halide perovskites are mixed electronic–ionic semiconductors with an extraordinarily rich optoelectronic behavior and the capability to function very efficiently as active layers in solar cells, a record efficiency surpassing 23% nowadays.
Abstract Semi‐transparent solar cells are emerging as promising devices for building integrated photovoltaics. However, regardless of the technology considered, optical transmission semi‐transparent is fixed during fabrication process, and hence, cannot adjust to variations in daylight or weather conditions. This becomes an issue when applications such photovoltaic windows envisioned. Previously, it has been reported that use photochromic naphthopyran dyes dye‐sensitized (DSSC) allows...

Interpreting the impedance response of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is significantly more challenging than for most other photovoltaics. This a variety reasons, which significant are mixed ionic-electronic conduction properties metal halide perovskites and difficulty in fabricating stable, reproducible, devices. Experimental studies, conducted on PSCs, produce spectra shapes. However, they all possess common features, noteworthy that have at least two high low frequency, with different...
Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is a straightforward experimental technique that commonly used to obtain information about the physical and chemical characteristics of photovoltaic devices. However, nonstandard behavior perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which are heavily influenced by motion mobile ion vacancies, has hindered efforts consistent theory PSC impedance.

Abstract In this work we report a simple and cost‐effective CsPbBr 3 ‐based solar cell without ordinary selective contacts. To do so follow an electrochemical approach consisting of three successive steps: (1) electrodeposition PbO 2 directly on top FTO substrates, (2) heterogeneous phase reaction with gaseous HBr (3) spin‐coating methanolic CsBr solutions followed by annealing. This method is more adequate for large‐scale environmentally friendly production as it reduces chemical waste,...
