The abstract of this study is developing non-toxic perovskite solar cells fabrication process. We found that Pbl2 and CH3NH3I powder can react and form perovskite directly at room temperature. Therefore, we can investigate the feasibility of solid state reaction and film forming properties by controlling the reaction time of CH3NH3I powder and PBI2 film. In addition, toxic solvent is less needed in this process. By analyzing materials crystalline, surface morphology and photoelectric characteristics and optimizing the thermal annealing process, we are able to develop non-toxic dry process to form perovskite and apply to solar cells. In p-i-n type structure solar cells, fabricated by vapor deposited PbI2 with solid state reacted CH3NH3I, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of small size cells and 5cm × 5cm sub-modules is up to 15.26 % and 11.16 %. On the other hand, in n-i-p type structure solar cells, fabricated by spin coated PbI2 with solid state reacted CH3NN3I, PCE of small size cells and 5cm × 5cm sub-modules is up to 17.74 % and 12.27 %, respectively. Further, PCE approach to 6% when we enlarges the solar cells area to 10cm × 10cm sub-modules.
On the other hand, this study use electroplating deposition method to fabricate PbO and PbO2 film, then react with CH3NH3I to form CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite thin film. We investigate the effect of CH3NH3I concentration in electroplating process with the morphology influences and the performance of perovskite solar cells. The optimized CH3NH3I concentration is 10 mg/ml. The PCE of solar cells by PbO and PbO2 fabrication process is 11.72 % and 11.05 %. In low CH3NH3I concentration fabrication process, larger perovskite grain size can be observed. Yet, in high CH3NH3I concentration fabrication process, CH3NH3I will re-dissolve and reduce the roughness of perovskite. In the final stage, the electroplated PbO and PbO2 thin film based perovskite solar cells through solid state reaction process can reach the efficiency of 9.15 % and 8.33 %, respectively, under 100 mW/cm2 (AM1.5G). | en_US |
