Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells

In this review article we summarize recent progress made in the material selection optical engineering and device architecture design for high performance semi transparent polymer and perovskite solar cells and discuss challenges for the commercialization of these semi transparent solar cells for power generating applications in windows.

Transparent perovskite solar cells.

Solar cells based on organometal trihalide perovskite light absorbers have recently emerged as one of the most promising class of photovoltaic devices. In order to achieve semi transparency in perovskite solar cells the electrode materials must be as transparent as possible. In this paper we report the preparation of transparent silver nanowires agnw top electrode for perovskite solar cells using inkjet printing process. Low temperature processed semi transparent perovskite mapbi 3 solar cells were prepared using sputter deposited niox hole transport layer and ito back contact.

Therefore the development of efficient bifacial cells is expected but the top transparent electrode is a crucial obstacle that must be overcome. The window was created by. A prototype of an energy harvesting solar powered smart window device has been developed by scientists from the u s. Semi transparent perovskite solar cells st pescs have received great attention because of their excellent performance and promising application in areas such as tandem devices and building integrated photovoltaics bipvs.

Abstract metal based transparent conductive electrodes tces are attractive candidates for application in indium tin oxide ito free solar cells due to their excellent electrical conductivity and cost effectiveness. Semi transparent perovskite solar cells pero scs are realized by tuning the band gap of the perovskite to resolve the trade off between the transparency and efficiency of the photo absorber.
