Perovskite Solar Cell Having AlxZn(1-x)O Nanorod Electron Transport Layer

Abstract

In the present work we have investigated the use of ZnO nanorods (NRs) and Al modified ZnO (AZO) NRs in perovskite solar cell ZnO NRs were synthesized using chemical bath deposition The effect of deposition condition on the NR characteristics was studied Desired NR layers were used for the deposition of perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 using either a two-step sequential deposition or a one-step deposition technique The deposition of the perovskite on the NR layer was optimized by examining the morphology thickness crystalline structure optical absorption and photoluminescence property Solar cells were fabricated using selected NR and perovskite layers having either glass or plastic substrates The resulting cells were evaluated using a sun light simulator and current-voltage measurement The effects of the characteristics of the NR layers on the cell performance are addressed
