We report a simple method to mitigate ultra-violet (UV) degradation in TiO2 based perovskite solar cells (PSC) using transparent luminescent down-shifting (DS) YVO4:Eu3+ nano-phosphor layer. The PSC coated with DS phosphor showed an improvement stability under prolonged illumination retaining more than 50% of its initial efficiency, whereas without the layer degraded ∼35% value. also provided ∼8.5% enhancement photocurrent due incident UV photons into additional red photons. thus served...
The thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) have been successfully deposited on soda lime glass by spin coating technique. CZTS were prepared a solution dissolving copper (II) chloride, zinc tin (IV) chloride and Thiourea in 2-Methoxyethanol. X-ray diffraction studies showed the formation kesterite phase with peaks corresponding to (112), (220) (312) planes. Raman spectrum indicated presence principal peak at 333 cm−1. SEM study that surface film was uniform. electrical measurements p-type...
Stoichiometric thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) were deposited by the spray technique on a FTO coated glass substrate, with post-annealing in H2S environment to improve film properties. CZTS used as counter electrode (CE) Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs) N719 dye and an iodine electrolyte. The DSC 0.25 cm(2) area using CE annealed under AM 1.5G illumination (100 mW cm(-2)) exhibited short circuit current density (JSC) = 18.63 mA cm(-2), open voltage (VOC) 0.65 V fill factor (FF) 0.53,...
Spray-deposited thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminum-doped (Al-ZnO) are characterized in detail to get insight into the role a dopant matrix. ZnO Al-ZnO implemented as electron transport layers (ETLs) inverted organic solar cells (IOSCs) with PTB7-Th donor IEICO-4F nonfullerene acceptor, forming bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photoactive layer. Organic (OSCs) based on ETL exhibit short-circuit current density (JSC) 24.46 mA/cm2 an open-circuit voltage (VOC) 0.68 V, yielding power...
An electric field assisted spray deposition method improves the perovskite film morphology, crystallinity, surface coverage and device efficiency with reduced hysteresis.
Perovskite materials are third-generation optoelectronic and require a lot of research work to improve their stability. Recently, lead-free double perovskite have attracted significant attention due environmental friendliness, stability, tunable properties. However, limited number been reported for optoelectronics applications. Therefore an effort is needed explore more perovskites alter the properties further In this manuscript, we report bismuth bismuth/antimony-based [Cs2AgBiBr6,...
Graphene oxide (GO) nano-powder is synthesized by the modified Hummer's method, and further thin films are deposited using water solution of GO through spin-coating.
