Machine Learning‐Assisted Optimization of Additive Engineering in FAPbI3‐Based Perovskite Solar Cells: Achieving High Efficiency and Long‐Term Stability

Additive engineering in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been proven to enhance device performance, yet comparing the effects of different additives through experimental methods is still a challenge. Herein, machine learning (ML) is used to quantitatively analyze the impact of additive engineering on performance of PSCs, utilizing a dataset with 778 samples and 39 input features. Key features affecting device performance are identified, revealing that alkali metal additives boost short‐circuit current, alkylamine additives improve open‐circuit voltage, and passivation at A‐site defects is more beneficial than at interstitial sites. Using the results gained from the ML approach, the performance of PSCs improves significantly, achieving an efficiency of 23.50%, with VOC and JSC values of 1.16 V and 25.35 mA cm−2, respectively, markedly higher than those of the control samples.

A comprehensive investigation involving numerous HTL and ETL layers to design and simulate high-efficiency Ca3AsI3-based perovskite solar cells

A lot of people are interested in inorganic cubic Calcium-Arsenic-Iodide perovskites because of their unique electronic, structural, and visual properties. This research explores new hybrid perovskite solar cells (HPSCs) based on Calcium-Arsenic-Iodide (Ca3AsI3) with various wide-energy-gap chalcogenide electron transport layers (ETLs) (IGZO, ZnO, SnO2, and TiO2) and several hole transport layers (HTLs) (Sb2S3, P3HT, and CuO). Initially, the optimal ETL was selected, and its thickness was varied in the SCAPS-1D simulator to determine its impact on device performance. A detailed study was carried out on three devices (device-I (Al/FTO/ZnO/Ca3AsI3/Sb2S3/Ni), device-II (Al/FTO/ZnO/Ca3AsI3/P3HT/Ni), and device III (Al/FTO/ZnO/Ca3AsI3/CuO/Ni)) using the most promising ETL, which was ZnO. The effects of key parameters like doping concentration, layer depth, defect density, operating thermal level, and interface defect density were thoroughly investigated. Finally, a comprehensive investigation of several presented composite structures was conducted to establish the benchmark for the latest effective Ca3AsI3-based photocell. The top power conversion efficiency (PCE) achieved 29.12 % for the device −I, having a value of VOC 1.281 V, a value of JSC 25.387 mA/cm2, and a value of fill factor (FF) 89.48 %. In evaluation, PCEs of 26.39 % and 21.25 % were acquired for devices II and III, respectively. Furthermore, quantum efficiency (QE%), the electron hole, the generation, recombination rates, and series-shunt resistance characteristics were examined in detail. Therefore, the device-I exhibits great promise for integration into Ca3AsI3-based hybrid perovskite high-performance photovoltaic devices.

Metal organic framework (MOF-5) and graphene oxide (GO) derived photoanodes for an efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

In this work, graphene oxide (GO) and metal organic frameworks (MOF-5) have been used as adding materials in the modification of photoanode to enhance the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The photoconversion efficiency (PCE) is systematically examined in DSSCs, consisting of MOF-5 or GO incorporated TiO2, GO/MOF-5 derived and pure photoanodes. The short circuit current density (JSC) becomes higher after GO incorporating, resulting in improved PCE of the device compared with pristine one, due to its fast electron transport property. After the addition with GO/MOF-5, JSC value gets close to that of pure one, due to suppression of electron transport, the photoelectron trapping at the interface. Moreover, adding with MOF-5 structure introduces better photovoltaic parameters with higher JSC and open circuit voltage (VOC) values, due to the high pore structure of MOF-5 material. Its property endues a high dye adsorption capability of MOF-5 modified photoanode, monitored by absorbance spectrum of dye-loaded one. The PCE of DSSC conducted with MOF-5 derived photoanode is 5.56 times superior to pure device, owing to improved light harvesting, and enhanced charge collection efficiency. The obtained results shed light on the important impact of derived photoanodes for DSSC applications in the future photovoltaic technologies.

Non-fused Nonfullerene Acceptors with an Asymmetric Benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b', 6,5-b"]trithiophene (BTT) Donor Core and Different AcceptorTerminal Units for Organic Solar Cells.

Here in, we have designed two new unfused non-fullerene small molecules using asymmetric benzo[1,2-b:3.4-b', 6,5-b"]trithiophene (BTT) as the central donor core and different terminal units i. e., 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (NFA-4) and 1,3-diethyl-2-thioxodi hydropyrimidine-4,6 (1H,5H)-dione (NFA-5) and examined their optical and electrochemical properties. Using a wide band-gap copolymer D18, organic solar cells (OSCs) based on bulk heterojunction of D18:NFA-4 and D18:NFA-5 showed overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of about 17.07 % and 11.27 %, respectively. The increased PCE for the NFA-4-based OSC, compared to NFA-5 counterpart, is due higher value of short circuit current (JSC), open circuit voltage (VOC), and fill factor (FF). Following the addition of small amount of NFA-5 to the binary bulk heterojunction D18:NFA-4, the ternary organic solar cells attained a PCE of 18.05 %, surpassing that of the binary counterparts due to the higher values of which is higher than that for the binary counterparts and attributed to the increased values of JSC, FF, and VOC. The higher value of JSC is linked to the efficient use to excitons transferred from NFA-5 to NFA-4 with a greated dipole moment than NFA-5 and subsequently dissociated into a free charge carrier efficiently.

MAPLE-Deposited Perylene Diimide Derivative Based Layers for Optoelectronic Applications.

Nowadays, the development of devices based on organic materials is an interesting research challenge. The performance of such devices is strongly influenced by material selection, material properties, design, and the manufacturing process. Usually, buckminsterfullerene (C60) is employed as electron transport material in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices due to its high mobility. However, considering its low solubility, there have been many attempts to replace it with more soluble non-fullerene compounds. In this study, bulk heterojunction thin films with various compositions of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), a perylene diimide derivative, or C60 were prepared by matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique to assess the influence of C60 replacement on fabricated heterostructure properties. The investigations revealed that the optical features and the electrical parameters of the organic heterostructures based on this perylene diimide derivative used as an organic acceptor were improved. An increase in the JSC value (4.3 × 10-4 A/cm2) was obtained for the structures where the perylene diimide derivative acceptor entirely replaced C60 compared to the JSC value (7.5 × 10-8 A/cm2) for the heterostructure fabricated only with fullerene. These results are encouraging, demonstrating the potential of non-fullerene compounds as electron transport material in OPV devices.

On the performance and thermal stability of solar cell based on CIGS-Sb2S3 combination with >35 % power conversion efficiency

This study presents a solar cell design utilizing a CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-selenide) absorber and Sb2S3 (antimony trisulfide) back surface field (BSF) layers, targeting high photovoltaic (PV) performance with an emphasis on minimum possible effect of ambient temperature. We simulated a solar cell design consisting of zinc oxide, surface defect layer, zinc sulfide, CIGS layer, and an Sb2S3 layer using SCAPS-1D software. Our findings indicate that 200 nm Sb2S3 layer and a 1600 nm CIGS layer is the preferred combination for achieving high PV performance and appropriate J-V characteristics of the proposed solar cell. For this design, the achieved values of VOC (open circuit voltage), JSC (short circuit current density), PCE (power conversion efficiency), and fill factor (FF) are 1.069V, 42.08 mA/cm2, 35.94 %, and 80.31 %, respectively. The PV performance of the proposed solar cell is substantially better than the solar cell design without BSF layer as well as recently reported (2023-24) solar cell designs. This study further examines the impact of elevated ambient temperatures (295–360 K) on the PV performance. Our simulation results show that operating the proposed solar cell at moderately elevated temperatures is not a significant issue owing to small power temperature coefficient (−0.034 % per K), which is comparable to that of commercially available solar cells. These findings are expected to contribute to the ongoing advancement of PV solar cells, aiming for higher PCE and improved stability, including thermal stability. Proposed solar cell with low PTC and high PCE can be suitable for space applications where temperature fluctuation is severe, as well as in tropical areas.

Investigation on Effects of the Laser‐Enhanced Contact Optimization Process With Ag Paste in a Boron Emitter for n‐TOPCon Solar Cell

ABSTRACTTOPCon solar cell with boron (B)‐doped emitters plays an important role in photovoltaic cell technology. However, a major challenge to further improving the metallization‐induced recombination and electrical contact of B‐doped emitters. Laser‐enhanced contact optimization (LECO) technology is one of ideal candidates for reducing the metallization recombination and contact resistivity. In this study, we investigate the influence of LECO technology using special Ag paste with a decreased Pb content on the performance of the metallization‐induced recombination (J0,metal), contact resistivity (ρc), microtopography of the contact, the I–V parameters, and possible conductive mechanisms. The results showed that the linear resistivity is reduced from 3.56 to 2.60 μΩ·cm owing to special Ag paste, and after LECO treatment, it also has lower ρc about 0.91 mohm·cm2. Both of them have a large contribution to the FF enhancement. Meanwhile, the J0,metal drops from 500 to 200 fA/cm2, which provides a great contribution to the improvement in open‐circuit voltage. The efficiency improved by 0.26% absolute to 25.94%, mainly because of the increased open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 4 mV and a fill factor (FF) of 0.26%. Simulated by COMSOL, the electron concentration rises to 4 × 1019 cm−3 after LECO treatment, which can generate a larger reverse current to provide a melting temperature for the glass frit, increasing the interface glass phase conductivity. The possible current transport mechanism of LECO is current tunneling effect, resulting in the decrease in the metallization recombination. After the optimization of the LECO process with low‐corrosion paste, we manufactured industrial‐grade TOPCon cells with Eff, Voc, Jsc, and FF values as high as 26.5%, 736 mV, 42.1 mA/cm2, and 85.5%, respectively.

Unveiling the impact of PC61BM concentration on perovskite solar cell performance

A detailed fabrication method is represented for perovskite solar cells, incorporating various materials and processes based on glove box-free sol-gel deposition routes. Key components include NiOx HTL, PC61BM ETL, BCP HBL, and CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite absorber. Results reveal a significant influence of PC61BM concentration on device efficiency, with champion cells exhibiting optimized VOC, JSC, and FF values at a specific concentration. Statistical analysis of 38 devices confirms the reproducibility and consistency of this concentration, yielding a PCE of 18.2 %. This study investigates a gap in the literature by clarifying the impact of PC61BM solution concentration as a sol-gel deposited electron transport layer. By identifying the optimal concentration and its role in improving device efficiency and reproducibility, investigation contributes to advancing the field of fully sol-gel-based perovskite solar cell technology.

Performance enhancement of dye solar cell using mixed synthetic organic dyes

The potential of dyes derived from Bromophenol and Rhodamine, both as single and mixed dyes, in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to achieve panchromatic light harvesting and enhance cell performance is assessed in this study. The study finds that a high molar extinction coefficient caused by the combined properties of the dyes matched with the spectrum area where the novel sensitizers deficit light-harvesting, indicating effective co-sensitization. To ascertain the dyes' characteristics and appropriateness as sensitizers, a variety of methods, including cyclic voltammetry, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), are used. Cyclic voltammetry results indicate that the dyes under study exhibit excellent redox stability and sufficient thermodynamic dynamic force for efficient electron introduction. According to the photovoltaic performance statistics, the mixed dye of Rhodamine and Bromophenol based cell had the maximum efficiency (η) and power (Jsc) are 4.06 mA and 1.29 %, respectively. This is made feasible by photosensitive light-harvesting, remarkable visual activity, and sufficient energy levels. Acidified mixed dyes were more able to load on the TiO2 surface due to their homogenous dispersion, reduced steric barriers, and multi-anchor group connected to the semiconductor surface. With such novel mixed dye, it is expected that the mixed dye with not only high efficiency but higher Jsc value will be an alternative to single dyed based DSSCs.

Influence of post-thermal treatment on characteristics of polycrystalline hybrid halide perovskite nanoparticles thin film

A three-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI2Br) nanoparticle film was synthesized using solution process in one step. Precursors’ stoichiometry was used to prepare methylammonium bromide and lead (II) bromide in dimethyl formamide. The synthesized CH3NH3PbI2Br solution was spin coated on cleaned ITO prepatterned glass substrate at 2000 rpm. In addition, the influence of post-thermal treatment on the deposited nanoparticles films was evaluated by studying the structural, optical and morphological properties using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, UV–visible spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The average crystallite sizes were calculated to be ~ 8.0, ~ 9.4, ~ 11.3 and ~ 13.1 nm of as-prepared and annealed films at 400, 500 and 600 °C, respectively. Besides, the bandgaps of 2.22 eV, 1.96 eV, 1.89 eV and 1.63 eV were extrapolated for as-prepared and annealed films at 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C, respectively. From J–V curves, the Jsc values of 9.4, 10.6, 11.7 and 12.8 mAcm−2, FF values of 56.99%, 57.25%, 58.94% and 59.26% and PCE values of 2.99%, 3.49%, 3.96% and 4.39% were calculated for as-prepared and annealed CH3NH3PbI2Br films at 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C, respectively. The percentage enhancement values of 14.32%, 24.49% and 31.89% compared to as-prepared CH3NH3PbI2Br film. Hence, post-thermal treatment of organic–inorganic halide perovskite material improved its photoconversion efficiency without sacrificing its dimensionality.

Design and numerical simulation of lead-free inorganic perovskites (Cs2BiAgI6) solar cell through computation method

Cs2BiAgI6 is a lead-free inorganic perovskite material exhibits exceptional photoelectric characteristics and great environmental stability. HTL/Cs2BiAgI6is/ETLs solar cells was investigated numerically by using SCAPS 1-D Capacitance Simulator. IGZO, TiO2, WO3, MoO3, and SnO2 have been chosen as ETLs, while CuO, CuI, and MoO3 are as HTLs. The values of electrical parameters were calculated as function of thickness of the absorber layer, ETLs, HTLs, interface defect densities, doping densities, and working temperature. Comparative study shows that best configuration of obtain solar cell is MoO3/Cs2BiAgI6/IGZO. The obtain value of Jsc, Voc, FF and PCE are 23.80 mA/cm2, 1.193 V, 83.46 %, 23.711 % respectively. The value of quantum efficiency is 80–90 % in the range of 350–750 nm. These results will open the door for the widespread use of stable and environmentally friendly perovskite solar cells by providing theoretical recommendations for high performance of Cs2BiAgI6 based photovoltaic solar cells (PSCs).

Exploring synthesis, characterization, and computational insights into indacenodithiophene-based hole transporting materials for enhanced perovskite solar cell applications

Utilizing hole-transporting materials (HTMs) to extract and transport holes from perovskite materials to the electrode remains essential in most perovskite solar cell (PSC) architectures. Developing cost-effective and efficient HTMs is essential for advancing PSC technology. We have synthesized a novel HTM, TPA-IDT-TPA, which has an extended fused ring as the core moiety called indacenodithiophene (IDT) and p-methoxy triphenylamine (p-mTPA) as terminal groups. TPA-IDT-TPA exhibits appropriate frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energy levels that match perovskite materials. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations were performed to comprehend the electronic, excited-state, and charge transport properties. The DFT results indicate that the extended π-conjugation, rigidity, and the central core ring of the HTM enhanced the π-π stacking, contributing to efficient charge transport. The PSC constructed with TPA-IDT-TPA achieves a device efficiency of 8.34%, with high values of JSC and VOC, which can be further enhanced through molecular optimization.

Exploring the Role of Central Metals in Bulky Phthalocyanines for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Two series of metallo-(Zn(II), Mg(II), and Ru(II)) and free-base phthalocyanines (Pcs) with a carboxyl anchoring group and well-established bulky peripheral substituents (either tert-butyl or bulky 2,6-diisopropylphenoxy) were synthesized and tested as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The trend of photovoltaic efficiencies (PCEs) for free-base and metallo Pcs followed the order Zn(II)Pc>Mg(II)Pc≫H2Pc ≈ Ru(II)Pc regardless of the peripheral substitution. Higher efficiencies (4.95 versus 3.63 for the Zn(II) derivatives) were achieved with Pcs bearing the bulkier 2,6-diisopropylphenoxy group, indicating a lower aggregation and more suitable HOMO-LUMO levels. Furthermore, these derivatives showed a morelevant influence of the metal on the PCE values (from the highest 4.95 for the Zn(II)Pc to the lowest 0.23 for the Ru(II)Pc. In both series, the best PCEs observed with the Zn(II) derivatives were mainly due to their highest Jsc values. The lowest efficiencies found for the free-bases and Ru(II) derivatives were attributed to a mismatch between their LUMO levels and the conduction band of the TiO2,and lower light-harvesting capabilities, respectively. In conclusion, Zn(II) derivatives are still the best Pc candidates to use as sensitizers in molecular photovoltaics.

Synthesis and Photovoltaic Performance of β-Amino-Substituted Porphyrin Derivatives.

New β-amino-substituted porphyrin derivatives bearing carboxy groups were synthesized and their performance as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) was evaluated. The new compounds were obtained in good yields (63-74%) through nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with 3-sulfanyl- and 4-sulfanylbenzoic acids. Although the electrochemical studies indicated suitable HOMO and LUMO energy levels for use in DSSC, the devices fabricated with these compounds revealed a low power conversion efficiency (PCE) that is primarily due to the low open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current density (Jsc) values.

Multi‐Selenophene Strategy Enables Dimeric Acceptors‐Based Organic Solar Cells with over 18.5% Efficiency

AbstractDimeric acceptor (DMA) becomes a promising alternative to small‐molecular and polymeric acceptor‐based organic solar cells (OSCs) due to its well‐defined chemical structure, high batch‐to‐batch reproducibility, and low molecular diffusion properties. However, DMAs usually exhibit blueshifted absorptions, limiting their photon utilization abilities. Herein, multi‐selenophene strategies are adopted to develop redshifted DMAs. From monomer (YSe) to dimers (DYSe‐1 and DYSe‐2), reduced electron reorganization energies and exciton binding energies enable the efficient charge dynamics in the DMAs‐based OSCs. Together with their effective absorption extending to ≈920 nm, DYSe‐1‐ and DYSe‐2‐ based OSCs exhibit outstanding short‐circuit current densities (JSCs) over 27 mA cm−2, which are the best among DMAs. Besides, compared with the YSe‐based device, both DMA‐based devices have higher electroluminescence quantum efficiencies and thus reduce nonradiative recombination loss (ΔE3), contributing to their reduced energy losses. The resultant open‐circuit voltages (VOCs) of DYSe‐1‐ and DYSe‐2‐ based OSCs are ≈0.88 V, which, combining their super JSC values, lead to the promising power conversion efficiencies of 18.56% and 18.22%, respectively. These results are among the best in DMAs‐based OSCs and highlight the great potential of the multi‐selenophene strategy for the development of redshifted DMAs with high performance.

Study on the process of hydrogen-doped indium oxide for silicon heterojunction solar cell mass production

In this work, we conducted a comparative study on water vapor (H2O) process and hydrogen gas (H2) process to prepare the IMO:H films based on industrialized DC magnetron sputtering system. To dynamically control the residual H2O pressure, we installed a set of polycold coil and kept it turned on during the sputtering process. The film characteristics of Hall mobility, carrier density, sheet resistance, and transparency was investigated. The results revealed that the silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell with H2 process had a higher Hall mobility and greater transparency in the 400–600 nm wavelength range resulting in a lower contact resistivity and a slight increase current density compared to the H2O process. The median efficiency (Eff) achieved with the H2 process improved by 0.09% absolute to 25.43%, mainly because of the increased Jsc and FF. And the IMO:H films with H2 process had a large basal spacing with (400) and (222) crystal planes resulting in maintaining a more stable and reliable structure at temperatures below 200 °C. After the optimization of TCO layer process, we manufactured the industrial-grade SHJ cells with max efficiency (Eff), Voc, Jsc, and fill factor (FF) values as high as 26.27%, 753 mV, 41 mA/cm2, and 86%, respectively. The IMO:H films with H2 process can thus be considered more suitable for large-scale production.

Numerical simulation based performance enhancement approach for an inorganic BaZrS3/CuO heterojunction solar cell

One of the main components of the worldwide transition to sustainable energy is solar cells, usually referred to as photovoltaics. By converting sunlight into power, they lessen their reliance on fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases. Because solar cells are decentralized, distributed energy systems may be developed, which increases the efficiency of the cells. Chalcogenide perovskites have drawn interest due to their potential in solar energy conversion since they provide distinctive optoelectronic characteristics and stability. But high temperatures and lengthy reaction periods make it difficult to synthesise and process them. Therefore, we present the inaugural numerical simulation using SCAPS-1D for emerging inorganic BaZrS3/CuO heterojunction solar cells. This study delves into the behaviour of diverse parameters in photovoltaic devices, encompassing efficiency (η) values, short-circuit current density (Jsc), fill factor (FF), and open-circuit voltage (Voc). Additionally, we thoroughly examine the impact of window and absorber layer thickness, carrier concentration, and bandgap on the fundamental characteristics of solar cells. Our findings showcase the attainment of the highest efficiency (η) values, reaching 27.3% for our modelled devices, accompanied by Jsc values of 40.5 mA/cm2, Voc value of 0.79 V, and FF value of 85.2. The efficiency (η) values are chiefly influenced by the combined effects of Voc, Jsc, and FF values. This optimal efficiency was achieved with CuO thickness, band gap, and carrier concentration set at 5 µm, 1.05 eV, and above 1019 cm−3, respectively. In comparison, the optimal parameters for BaZrS3 include a thickness of 1 µm, a carrier concentration below 1020 cm−3, and a band gap less than 1.6 eV. Therefore, in the near future, the present simulation will simultaneously provide up an entirely novel field for the less defective perovskite solar cell.

Synthesis of donor-acceptor type 2D porphyrin based cyclic imides as an efficient photo catalysts in DSSC solar cell

Porphyrinated dimides-based materials differing in the nature of dianhydries namely TPP-2(FDI)-TPP and TPP-2(PMDI)-TPP has been synthesized and thoroughly characterized through various techniques including elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–vis, 1H NMR spectra, fluorescence studies, and cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, computational studies were also performed to investigate the electron transfer phenomena in TPP-2(FDI)-TPP and TPP-2(PM DI)-TPP. The 79.1% fluorescence intensity was reduced for TPP-2(FDI)-TPP and 95.8% was reduced for TPP-2(PMDI)-TPP as compared to cis-DATPP indicating the covalent interaction between the porphyrin moiety and dianhydrides, also indicating the transfer of an electron from cis-DATPP to dianhydrides. The HOMO, and LUMO level values for TPP-2(FDI)-TPP and TPP-2(PMDI)-TPP obtained from cyclic voltammetric analysis are −6.665 eV, −6.765 eV and −4.805 eV, −4.915 eV respectively. The HOMO and LUMO level values calculated through computational analysis are −4.939, −5.038, and −2.591, −3.366 respectively for TPP-2(FDI)-TPP and TPP-2(PMDI)-TPP. These results are found to be comparable with the UV–vis absorption studies indicating the synchronization of the calculated and experimental results. From the MEP analysis, we have found that the porphyrin acts as the nucleophilic center, whereas the polyimide moiety acts as the electrophilic center, indicating the easiest/possible transfer of electrons from porphyrin to 6FDA and PMDA. The intensity effect produced for TPP-2(FDI)-TPP and TPP-2(PMDI)-TPP showed a sublinear behavior and class 2 state. For TPP-2(FDI)-TPP the calculated Jsc was 4.09 mAcm−2 and Voc was 1.39V and for TPP-2(PMDI)-TPP, the value of Jsc and Voc were found 4.5 mAcm−2 and 1.77V respectively. The observed enhanced efficiency of 0.22% was calculated for TPP-2(FDI)-TPP which was due to the larger band gap and high LUMO level value.

The increasing for energy need encourages all parties to develop alternative energy sources with the concept of renewable energy, which utilizes resources that are always available in nature, such as sunlight energy. The device that can convert sunlight into electrical energy is a solar cell. In this research, solar cells were made based on the MAPbI3 perovskite material as an active material which functions as an absorber to absorb photons of sunlight. The solar cell device was fabricated with the FTO/c-TiO2/mp-TiO2/MAPbI3/PTAA/Au device structure using the OSPD-FDC (one step precursor deposition-fast deposition crystallization) method. The UV-Vis characterization results show that the absorption area of MAPbI3 starts from the wavelength range of 325 nm to 800 nm and shows the presence of an absorption band edge which is a special characteristic of perovskite materials. Meanwhile, characterization of photovoltaic properties produces a power conversion efficiency value of 13% with Jsc, Voc and FF values of 23 mA/cm2, 1.1 V, and 54% respectively
