The cells employ a layered 2D perovskite structure as the light-absorbing layer, which achieves higher absorption compared to conventional 1D perovskites. The layered structure enables efficient light absorption through enhanced exciton separation, while maintaining stability under ambient conditions. The perovskite layer is formed through a one-step spin-coating process, eliminating the need for complex thermal evaporation or multistep deposition.
50. Spin-Coating Method for Perovskite Solar Cell Fabrication Using Sequential Solution Application
UNIV NAT CENTRAL, 2015
A method for preparing perovskite solar cells using a spin-coated perovskite active layer without the need for vacuum deposition or expensive evaporator equipment. The process involves applying a solution containing the perovskite precursor to a substrate, followed by a second solution containing the perovskite material to form the active layer. The active layer is then transferred to a substrate with a conductive material, where a hole or electron transport layer is deposited. This approach enables the fabrication of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells with precise control over the perovskite material properties.
