Abstract:
Perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have evolved as highly promising solar advancements in recent years because of their highly cost-effective manufacturing processes while demonstrating excellent performance. However, the commercialization of perovskite solar cells is hindered by the fact that they are highly unstable, and power conversion efficiency degrades as a result of photo-degradation and several other factors. The objective of this work is to investigate how the electrical and optical properties of the perovskite device are impacted by the addition of AgOx layer and also fabricate devices using a glass/ITO (indium-doped tin oxide)/AgOx/PEDOT:PSS(poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate))/MAPbI3(methylammonium lead iodide)/ PCBM(phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester)/ Ag (silver) device configuration. Through literature review, it was found that a previous study of the addition of silver oxide layer to an organic solar cell showed tremendous results and device obtained a 28% increase in power conversion efficiency and 33% increase in fill factor.
