AbstractPerovskite solar cells (PSCs) expressed great potentials for offering a feasible alternative to conventional photovoltaic technologies. 2D/3D hybrid PSCs, where a 2D capping layer is used over the 3D film to avoid the instability issues associated with perovskite film, have been reported with improved stabilities and high power conversion efficiencies (PCE). However, the profound analysis of the PSCs with prolonged operational lifetime still needs to be described further. Heading towards efficient and long-life PSCs, in-depth insight into the complicated degradation processes and charge dynamics occurring at PSCs' interfaces is vital. In particular, the Au/HTM/perovskite interface got a substantial consideration due to the quest for better charge transfer; and this interface is debatably the trickiest to explain and analyze. In this study, multiple characterization techniques were put together to understand thoroughly the processes that occur at the Au/HTM/perovskite interface. Inquest analysis using current–voltage (I–V), electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISHG), and impedance spectroscopy (IS) was performed. These techniques showed that the degradation at the Au/HTM/perovskite interface significantly contribute to the increase of charge accumulation and change in impedance value of the PSCs, hence resulting in efficiency fading. The 3D and 2D/3D hybrid cells, with PCEs of 18.87% and 20.21%, respectively, were used in this study, and the analysis was performed over the aging time of 5000 h. Our findings propose that the Au/HTM/perovskite interface engineering is exclusively essential for attaining a reliable performance of the PSCs and provides a new perspective towards the stability enhancement for the perovskite-based future emerging photovoltaic technology.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has attracted growing attention in recent years due to its outstanding photovoltaic performance. After extensive studies in material designs and device engineering, the efficiencies of PSCs have been improved to 24.2%. On the other hand, the inadequate stability of PSCs is hindering the application to real life. Starting with the stability of organic-inorganic PSCs, this article analyzed and concluded the impact of doping A-site and X-site ions on the stability of perovskite respectively. Next, it put forward the prospects for possible development directions of this field in the future.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) represent a promising technology for energy harvesting due to high power conversion efficiencies up to 26%, easy manufacturing, and convenient deposition techniques, leading to added advantages over other contemporary competitors. In order to promote this technology toward commercialization though, stability issues need to be addressed. Lately, many researchers have explored several techniques to improve the stability of the environmentally-sensitive perovskite solar devices. Challenges posed by environmental factors like moisture, oxygen, temperature, and UV-light exposure, could be overcome by device encapsulation. This review focuses the attention on the different materials, methods, and requirements for suitable encapsulated perovskite solar cells. A depth analysis on the current stability tests is also included, since accurate and reliable testing conditions are needed in order to reduce mismatching involved in reporting the efficiencies of PSC.

Perovskite solar cells are emerging as highly potent and efficient devices as sustainable energy source. The stability issue of hybrid perovskite methyl ammonium lead bromide can be improved by all inorganic perovskites like cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3). The present work is about the synthesis and characterization of CsPbBr3 for efficient perovskite solar cells. The synthesis is carried out using hot injection method. The resulting nanocrystals (NCs) are characterized using XRD, SEM, AFM, UV/Vis Spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy and Hall Effect measurements. The NCs are tested for their performance in solar cells.
