Abstract CsPbIBr2, a type of cesium based all-inorganic halide perovskite (CsPe) composition, has been proposed as an alternative perovskite material against the mainstream organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite (HPe) materials owing to its exceptional humidity, thermal, temperature, and light stability. However, the low power conversion efficiency (PCE) due to its wide bandgap (2.05 eV) is an obstacle for its application in developing highly efficient solar cells. In this study, facile nanoimprinted one-dimensional grating nanopattern (1D GNP) formation on mesoporous TiO2 (mp-TiO2) photoelectrode has been introduced to improve the effective light utilization for enhancing the performance of CsPbIBr2 perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The 1D GNP structure on mp-TiO2 layer can not only increase the light absorption efficiency by diffracting the unabsorbed light into the mp-TiO2 and CsPbIBr2 active layer, but can also increase the charge separation and collection due to the enlarged interfacial contact area between the mp-TiO2 and CsPbIBr2 layers. Consequently, both current density (JSC) and fill factor (FF) of the fabricated cells were improved leading to over 20% improvement in their PCE. Thus, we conclude that this periodic grating structure, fabricated by simple solvent-assisted nanoimprinting, can play an important role in the realization of high-efficiency and low-cost Cs-based PSCs.

CsPbIBr2, a cesium-based all-inorganic halide perovskite (CsPe), is a very promising alternative material to mainstream organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite (HPe) materials owing to its exceptional moisture stability, thermal stability, and light stability. However, because of the wide band gap (2.05 eV) of CsPbIBr2, it has a low power conversion efficiency (PCE), which hinders its application in highly efficient solar cells. In this study, a facile nanoimprinted one-dimensional grating nanopattern (1D GNP) formation on mesoporous TiO2 (mp-TiO2) photoelectrodes was introduced to improve the effective light utilization and enhance the performance of CsPbIBr2 perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The 1D GNP structure on the mp-TiO2 layer increases the light absorption efficiency by diffracting the unabsorbed light into the active mp-TiO2 and CsPbIBr2 layers as well as increasing the charge separation and collection due to the extended interfacial contact area between the mp-TiO2 and CsPbIBr2 layers. Consequently, both the current density (JSC) and the fill factor (FF) of the fabricated cells improved, leading to over a 20% enhancement in the solar cell’s PCE. Thus, this periodic grating structure, fabricated by simple nanoimprinting, could play an important role in the large-scale production of highly efficient and cost-effective Cs-based PSCs.

Major Impediment

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have made immense progress in recent years, owing to outstanding optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials, such as high extinction coefficient, carrier mobility, and low exciton binding energy. Since the first appearance in 2009, the efficiency of PSCs has reached 23.3%. This has made them the most promising rival to silicon-based solar cells. However, there are still several issues to resolve to promote PSCs’ outdoor applications. In this review, three crucial aspects of PSCs, including high efficiency, environmental stability, and low-cost of PSCs, are described in detail. Recent in-depth studies on different aspects are also discussed for better understanding of these issues and possible solutions.

Perovskites are increasingly proved to be a promising candidate for making absorber materials for high-efficiency and low-cost next-generation solar cells. There are several models proposed for perovskite solar cells similar to the conventional solar cells; their operation also has specific characteristics and requires the development of a more general physical model to study, thus optimizing the cells and improving the performance of the panels. This paper develops such a physics-based intuitive model to consider the performance of two high-efficiency types of perovskite solar cells, taking into account heterogeneous properties, with filtered transport layers, recombination, charge selection, and voltage-dependent collector. This model would allow experimentally to estimate critical parameters of perovskite solar cells, understand the performance bottleneck, and predict the performance of perovskite solar cells and suggest further study for perovskite solar cell technology development.
