PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL

Image
A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of  solar cell  which includes a  perovskite-structured  compound, most commonly a hybrid organic-inorganic  lead  or  tin halide-based material , as the light-harvesting active layer.Perovskite materials, such as  methylammonium lead halides  and all-inorganic cesium lead halide, are cheap to produce and simple to manufacture.                            Solar cell efficiencies   of laboratory-scale devices using these materials have increased from 3.8% in 2009  to 25.5% in 2020 in single-junction architectures,   and, in silicon-based tandem cells, to 29.15%,   exceeding the maximum efficiency achieved in single-junction silicon solar cells. Perovskite solar cells have therefore been the fastest-advancing solar technology as of 2016.   With the potential of achieving even higher efficiencies and ver...
