A worldwide investigation is being carried out for improving the photoconversion efficiency of solar cells. Among all solar cells, quantum dots solar cell (QDSC) has proven as the best potential for photocurrent generator. The major focus of this research work is comparing the performance of QD based solar cells with and without the addition of synthesized dielectric nanomaterials for reducing recombination problems and higher the exciton generation. The selection of dielectric nanomaterial was carried out based on their good field-effect passivation, screened columbic attraction, enactment as a back reflector, and recombination inhibitor in solar cell. According to the above-mentioned factors lanthanum doped lead titanate Pb0.85La0.15TiO3 (PLT15) is a promising material for this research work. For improving the performance of QD based solar cells, the PLT15 paired mesoporous TiO2 electron transport layer (ETL) film was deposited onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate using doctor blading technique followed by annealing the QD deposition onto the coated glass substrate was carried out via dipping of the glass into the QD solution for overnight. The QD used in this research work were namely – PbI3. Finally, the performance study was carried out which indicates that the introduction of dielectric material into the QDSC has proven to be as innovative and as well as efficient for improving the photocurrent conversion efficiency.

The aim of this study is to review issues related to the requirement of thin CIGSS absorber layers, prepare and characterize thin CIGSS films on molybdenum coated glass, improve understanding of material properties, and further enhance solar cell performance. This paper presents the preparation and properties of thin (∼1 μm thick) CuIn1−xGaxSe2−ySy (CIGSS) solar cells on molybdenum coated glass substrate. CIGSS films of thickness ∼1 μm were prepared in two steps. Step one involved the deposition of Cu-In-Ga metallic precursors on molybdenum coated glass substrate and step two involves the selenization/sulfurization of these metallic precursors using diluted diethylselenide (DESe) as selenium source and diluted H2S as sulfur source respectively. Thin film solar cells were completed by the deposition of n-type CdS layer by chemical bath deposition, ZnO/ZnO:Al transparent conducting window bilayer by RF magnetron sputtering and Ni-Al front contact fingers by e-beam evaporation technique through a metal mask. This paper presents the preliminary results obtained on very thin (∼ 1 μm) absorber layer.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are set to be game changing components in next-generation photovoltaic technology due to their high efficiency and low cost. In this article, recent progress in the development of perovskite layers, which are the basis of PSCs, is reviewed. Achievements in the fabrication of high-quality perovskite films by various methods and techniques are introduced. The reported works demonstrate that the power conversion efficiency of the perovskite layers depends largely on their morphology and the crystalline quality. Furthermore, recent achievements concerning the scalability of perovskite films are presented. These developments aim at manufacturing large-scale perovskite solar modules at high speed. Moreover, it is shown that the development of low-dimensional perovskites plays an important role in improving the long-term ambient stability of PSCs. Finally, these latest advancements can enhance the competitiveness of PSCs in photovoltaics, paving the way for their commercialization. In the closing section of this review, some future critical challenges are outlined, and the prospect of commercialization of PSCs is presented.

Perovskite solar cells represent a new class of photovoltaic devices that, in only a decade, has already been achieved comparable performance to that of the most established photovoltaic technologies. To satisfy the demanding market require-ments, however, perovskite solar cells need to have the high performances with the use of low-cost materials and cost-effective fabrication processes, during a long term in the working environment and this needs to be possible for both small scale and large-scale devices.The fully printable carbon perovskite solar cells are based on an inorganic triple mesoscopic stack that is infiltrated by a perovskite precursors solution. This architecture seems to be the most promising to satisfy the requirements of the market, because the manufacture can simply occur with low-cost materials and well-established industrial deposition techniques, such as screen printing. Further-more, the stability of these cells was reported to be one of the longest among perovskite solar cells, making this technology the closest to make market penetra-tion.This work focuses on fully printable perovskite solar cells with a special outlook at their up-scaling in series-connected modules. The fabrication of large area modules with both high performance and substrate coverage will be discussed, in a journey that starts from single cell devices, overcomes issues found in the up-scaling process, and finally reaches design optimisation. Devices of single cells with 1 cm2 active area will be presented, as well as modules on 5 × 5 cm2 or 10 × 10 cm2 substrates. Finally, series-connected modules with around 200 cm2 active area and high coverage on the substrate will be shown.

Insight Into

High-performance lab-scale perovskite solar cells often have a precious metal as the top electrode. However, there are drawbacks to using metal top electrodes on a large scale, such as inducing degradation processes, requiring a high-temperature deposition process under vacuum, and having low scalability. Recently many studies have shown the potentials of using a carbon electrode because of its conductivity, flexibility, low cost, and ease of fabrication. This review article presents an overview of using carbon materials to replace the top electrode in perovskite photovoltaics. We discuss various fabrication techniques, various carbon-based device structures, and the advantages of using carbon materials. A collection of research works on device performance, large-scale fabrication, and device stability is presented. As a result, this review offers insight into the future of large-scale flexible solar cells.
