Abstract

Solar cells does not live in the realm of static perfection. They are instead functioning under the messiness caused by microscopic random motion, vibrations, rotations, and excitations triggered by temperature. This chapter covers the thermodynamic concept of temperature and the effects it has on lead halide perovskites for solar cell applications. We discuss how temperature affects a range of relevant properties, including the crystal structure, the dynamics of the organic ions, light absorption, dielectric behavior, charge carrier transport, thermal expansion, and stability. We also go through what we known about how temperature affects the solar cell device performance.
