Tetra-butylammonium cations have been partially substituted for methylammonium cations in perovskite thin films. The stability of devices stored under ambient conditions was enhanced by the presence of TBA and cells with high mol% TBA were found to have reasonable efficiencies while being semi-transparent.

Purpose In the past several years, CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite material has been extensively evaluated as an absorber layer of perovskite solar cells due to its excellent structural and optical properties, and greater than 22% conversion efficiency. However, improvement and future commercialization of solar cells based on CH3NH3PbI3 encountered restrictions due to toxicity and instability of the lead element. Recently, studies on properties of lead-free and mixture of lead with other cations perovskite thin films as light absorber materials have been reported. The purpose of this paper was the fabrication of CH3NH3Sn1-xPbxI3 thin films with different SnI2 concentrations in ambient condition, and study on the structural, morphological, optical, and photovoltaic performance of the studied solar cells. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed the formation of both CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3SnI3 phases with increasing the Sn concentration, and improvement in crystallinity and morphology was also observed. All perovskite layers had a relatively high absorption coefficient >104 cm−1 in the visible wavelengths, and the bandgap values varied in the range from 1.46 to 1.63 eV. Perovskite solar cells based on these thin films have been fabricated, and device performance was investigated. Results showed that photo-conversion efficiency (PCE) for the pure CH3NH3PbI3sample was 1.20%. With adding SnI2, PCE was increased to 4.48%. Design/methodology/approach In this work, the author mixed tin and lead with different percentages in the perovskite thin film. Also, the preparation of these layers and also other layers to fabricate solar cells based on them were conducted in an open and non-glove box environment. Finally, the effect of [Sn/Pb] ratio in the CH3NH3Sn1-xPbxI3 layers on the structural, morphological, optical, electrical and photovoltaic performance have been investigated. Findings CH3NH3Sn1-xPbxI3 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0) perovskite thin films have been grown by a spin-coating technique. It was found that as tin concentration increases, the X-ray diffraction and FESEM images studies revealed the formation of both CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3SnI3 phases, and improvement in crystallinity, and morphology; all thin films had high absorption coefficient values close to 104 cm−1 in the visible region, and the direct optical bandgap in the layers decreases from 1.63 eV in pure CH3NH3SnI3 to 1.46 eV for CH3NH3Sn0.0.25Pb0.75I3 samples; all thin films had p-type conductivity, and mobility and carrier density increased; perovskite solar cells based on these thin films have been fabricated, and device performance was investigated. Results showed that photo-conversion efficiency (PCE) for the pure CH3NH3PbI3sample was 1.20%. With adding SnI2, PCE was increased to 4.48%. Originality/value The preparation method seems to be interesting as it is in an ambient environment without the protection of nitrogen or argon gas.

The CuI thin film has been successfully prepared by using cathodic electrodeposition method. The synthesized film was characterized using advanced techniques such as XRD, SEM-EDX and UV measurements. The films are crystallized in face centered cubic structure. The crystallinity is increasing for the applied potential of-0.3 V and the crystallinity deteriorates on increasing the potential above - 0.3 V. It was also observed that the applied voltage plays an important role. Homogeneously distributed triangular faceted morphology was observed from SEM. This is consistent with the result of XRD that electrodeposited CuI thin films grow preferential orientation along the (111) crystal plane.
