چکیده
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a promising photovoltaic (PV) technology, where the evolution of electron-selective layers (ESLs), an integral part any PV device, has played distinctive role to their progress. To date, mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2)/compact TiO2 stack been among most used ESLs in state-of-the-art PSCs. However, this material requires high-temperature sintering and may induce hysteresis under operational conditions, raising concerns about its use toward commercialization. Recently, tin oxide (SnO2) emerged as attractive alternative ESL, thanks wide bandgap, high optical transmission, carrier mobility, suitable band alignment with perovskites, decent chemical stability. Additionally, low-temperature processability enables compatibility temperature-sensitive substrates, thus flexible devices tandem cells. Here, notable developments SnO2 perovskite-relevant ESL are reviewed emphasis placed on various fabrication methods interfacial passivation routes champion Further, techno-economic analysis materials for large-scale deployment, together processing-toxicology assessment, is presented. Finally, perspective how can be instrumental successful module perovskite-based cell manufacturing provided.

Electrodeposited Ultrathin TiO2 Blocking Layers for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells
In this study, the electrodeposition (ED) of ultrathin, compact TiO2 blocking layers (BLs) on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is evaluated. This bottom-up method allows for controlling the morphology and thickness of TiO2 films by simply manipulating deposition conditions. Compared with BLs produced using the spin-coating (SC) method, BLs produced using ED...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Electron Transport Layers for Perovskite Solar Cells
The electron diffusion length (Ln) is smaller than the hole diffusion length (Lp) in many halide perovskite semiconductors meaning that the use of ordered one-dimensional (1D) structures such as nanowires (NWs) and nanotubes (NTs) as electron transport layers (ETLs) is a promising method of achieving high performance halide perovskite solar cells (HPSCs). ETLs consisting of oriented and aligned...

To investigate the plasmonic effect in perovskite solar cells, the effect of depositing Au@SiO2 nanoparticles on the top and the bottom of mesoporous TiO2 layers was studied. First, Au@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized. The particles were then deposited at the different interfaces of mesoporous TiO2 layers. Although the two structures show approximately similar optical absorption, only cells ...
