Halide Perovskite

Perovskite solar cell is categorized as a third-generation solar cell which is used for its high-performance and low-cost production. However, device stability is a major problem in the development of perovskite solar cells. Mixed halide perovskite is one of the subjects that have been proposed to improve perovskite solar cell stability. Research about solar cells using mixed halide perovskite is widely reported. However, complex configurations and fabrication using sophisticated equipment were usually used in those reported studies. In this work, the fabrication of solar cells using mixed halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3- x Cl x and CH3NH3PbI3- x SCN x was conducted using a simple and low-cost structure. Solution-processed deposition fabrication method using spin coating was used to fabricate the devices. Optimization of the spin coating rate for each layer in the perovskite solar cells was performed to ensure that the devices exhibited decent performance. Stability measurement and analysis of the perovskite solar cells were conducted. Summarily, solar cells with mixed halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3- x Cl x exhibit the highest performance with an efficiency of 2.92%. On the other hand, solar cell with mixed halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3- x SCN x has the best stability which only drops its efficiency by 39% from its initial value after 13 days.

Cost Constraints

Indonesia is an archipelagic nation that has many small islands where the average load is low and currently supplied by diesel power generators. The drawbacks from these generators are cost constraints from its operation. Solar cells are the solution of this problem with the support of daily average radiation in Indonesia of 4.8 kWh/m2/day. There has been a lot of technology for the construction of solar cells such as silicon based, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), which was already successfully commercialized. However, these technologies have been obsolete and started to reach its maximum potential. Perovskite solar cells have a very high future potential, due to the increase on the efficiency of this technology in a relatively short amount of time. The current challenge for the fabrication of perovskite solar cell is the material cost and fabrication cost. This paper discussed the low-cost fabrication of perovskite solar cell using only spin coating deposition method and relatively also low-cost materials for the structure of the perovskite solar cell itself. As a result, we achieve perovskite solar cell with VOC of 0.6 V, ISC of 13 mA, FF of 0.28, and 1.2% efficiency.

T Perovskite solar cells are becoming a dominant alternative for the traditional solar cells reaching an efficiency of 25.2% in a short span of twelve years (2008-2020). Here, we are going to describe a simple process to 'put a voice on a laser beam' and transmit it over a distance via a perovskite solar cell. This process considered as a fascinating example of amplitude modulation of light using sound vibrations. Therefore, the design and simulation of the perovskite solar cell will be described in details in this work. This design is concerned about the lead-free based perovskite solar cell model with the total proposed structure “Metal contact /PEDOT:PSS/ CH3NH3SnI3/ ZnO/ SnO2:F/ Metal contact”. To study the efficiency and the performances of a solar cell, the use of well-known software so-called SCAPS-1D is undertaken to perform the system simulation. The obtained results show also the influence of the doping level of the HTM layer and absorber layer thickness on the performance of the device. So far, only the simulation part has been validated. Despite the costeffect of the system prototype, however, it could be implemented here in the laboratory as perspective work.
