Investigation of the optoelectronics properties and stability of Formamidinium lead mixed halides perovskite

Abdoulaye Tour et al.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the mixed halides of formamidinium lead films FAPbX3 (where X3= I3, Br3, I2Br, Br2I, Cl2Br) using a low-cost spin coating technique. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the films were analyzed using various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence analysis. The results showed that the FA mixed halide films (FAPbI2Br and FAPbBr2I) demonstrated a good compromise between stability and band gap, while FAPbI3 exhibited good optoelectronic properties but low stability.

Delafossite as hole transport layer a new pathway for efficient perovskite-based solar sells: Insight from experimental, DFT and numerical analysis

Amal Bouich et al.

Summary: In this study, a successful technique is proposed to produce delafossite materials as Hole Transport Layer (HTL) in inorganic lead halide Perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The effects of M cations, such as Al, Ga, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Cr, on the crystal structure, morphology, and optical properties of delafossite CuMO2 were investigated. Experimental and DFT calculations were conducted to analyze the electronic properties of the delafossite layers. Numerical analysis in SCAPS-1D software showed that the HTL delafossite layers achieved the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE%) of 22.90. This research provides a valuable direction for improving the performance of Perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs).

Insight of ZnO/CuO and ZnO/Cu2O solar cells efficiency with SCAPS simulator

Klegayere Emmanuel Kone et al.

Summary: Despite the low power conversion efficiency, n-ZnO/p-CuO and n-ZnO/p-Cu2O solar cells contribute to the development of photovoltaic energy. In this work, the simulator software SCAPS-1D was used to optimize the parameters of these cells, resulting in short-circuit currents and efficiencies of 27.7755 mA.cm(-2), 31.40%, and 12.9790 mA.cm(-2), 13.34% for n-ZnO/p-CuO and n-ZnO/p-Cu2O solar cells, respectively. The research reveals that the n-ZnO/p-CuO solar cell is more efficient and suitable for converting solar energy into electricity.

Boosting the stability and growth of methylammonium lead bromide perovskites film doped with FA for solar cells

Youssouf Doumbia et al.

Summary: We investigated the effect of formamidinium (FA) content on the lead methylammonium bromide films. The crystal structures, morphology, and optical properties of the films were analyzed. The addition of FA increased the absorbance of the films, with the lowest band gap observed for the 6% FA layer. The films showed resistance to degradation in ambient environment, with some films exhibiting less degradation.

Bright future by controlling & alpha;/8 phase junction of formamidinium lead iodide doped by imidazolium for solar cells: Insight from experimental, DFT calculations and SCAPS simulation

Amal Bouich et al.

Summary: In this study, the potential of Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) thin films as an absorber layer in perovskite-based solar cells was investigated. Doping FAPbI3 with imidazolium (IM) at 6% concentration resulted in homogeneous perovskite films with a stable a-phase perovskite, large grain size, and no holes. The solar cell device using 6% IM-doped FAPbI3 showed a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.10%.

Synthesis of CZTS kesterite by pH adjustment in order to improve the performance of CZTS thin film for photovoltaic applications

Muhammad Aamir Shafi et al.

Summary: Quaternary CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) kesterite thin layers were successfully prepared by electrochemical deposition. The pH adjustment was found to have significant effects on the grain size, surface morphology, and band gap of the CZTS thin films. The variation in pH was found to affect both the stability and performance of the high-quality CZTS absorber layer.

Defects signature in VOC characterization of thin-film solar cells

Atul Kumar et al.

Summary: The abnormal features of VOC dependence on temperature and illumination in p-n+-n++ heterojunction family of solar cell devices were investigated to identify defects. By simulating individual defects and shortcomings in the device model, a comparison study for temperature-VOC and illumination-VOC was conducted to summarize features associated with different device shortcomings. The simulation of VOC-temperature and VOC-illumination plots characterization proved useful in diagnosing and identifying defects in the device.
