Abstract

Precursor inks development contributed significantly to rapid escalations in solar-to-electrical conversion efficiencies of peorvskite solar cell technology.

Highlights

  • The growing population and resulting human activity continue to increase energy consumption, imposing new challenges for energy supply and production

  • Among the various renewable energy sources, photovoltaics has been considered as a potential source for providing clean, silent, and affordable energy with high solar-to-electrical energy conversion.[5,6,7]

  • Despite the increase in installations of dominant Si-based photovoltaic systems, these have various limitations such as saturated performance for bulk outdoor electricity production, limited aesthetics for modern architecture-based building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications, and noneco-friendly and high energy consumption-based production methods. They display limited performance under low light intensity conditions; efficient conversion of electrical energy under simulated light is needed to energize maintenance-free internet of things (IoT) devices and portable electronics.[8,9,10,11]

Summary

Introduction

The growing population and resulting human activity continue to increase energy consumption, imposing new challenges for energy supply and production. The striking discovery of potential applications of perovskite-based light harvesters in photovoltaics was preliminarily reported by formulating two types of precursor ink.[40] Brie y, CH3NH3Br and PbBr2 were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, while CH3NH3I and PbI2 were mixed in g-butyrolactone (GBL) as a high viscosity solvent, cast on a TiO2 nanocrystalline lm via the spin coating method ( known as the single-step deposition method).[41,42,43] The solar cells produced in a liquid junction DSSC assembly fashion resulted in 3.81% solar-to-electrical energy conversion when tested under full sunlight illumination.[40]. The solar-to-electrical energy conversion milestone of 25% was
