Stability of Perovskite

Solar Cells
Sanhita Guha, Haley Stumvoll
Introduction
• Perovskite solar cells are the best
alternative in photovoltaic research
• However, have some issues with stability
• ABX3 structure of perovskites
• Needs more research concerning
reactions at high temperature
State of the Art
Proposed Work
• To design and manufacture a stable perovskite solar cell
• To test the stability at high temperature conditions

TASK 1: TASK 2: TASK 3:


STRUCTURE SIMULATION MANUFACTURING TESTING
Proposed Work
Task 1: Structure Simulation
• Structure:
• MAPbI3−xBrx
• HTM-free solar cell structure
• Carbon contacts
• Zinc Oxide as the Electron Transport
Layer
• TCO substrate Proposed structure of perovskite solar cell

• Simulate using Silvaco


Proposed Work
Task 2: Manufacturing Task 3:Testing
• Spin-coating • 1000-hour test under AM
• Cost-effective 1.5 illumination at
• Simple temperatures of 85°C and
• Fast drying time above
• Reliable quality • Techniques:
• FTIR
• IV Test
• Image Processing
Impact
• Renewable energy is a big concern now
• Global warming

• Solar energy readily available


• However, solar cells have relatively low efficiency
• The more research done, the faster solar cells can be commercially available
Conclusion
• This research will lead to a deeper understanding of the material functionality,
especially at higher temperatures
• Aim to make perovskite solar cells commercially usable
• Divided into three steps:
• simulation, production and testing of the designed structure
