Anomalous band gap behavior in mixed Sn and Pb perovskites enables broadening of absorption spectrum in solar cells.

Perovskite-based solar cells have recently been catapulted to the cutting edge of thin-film photovoltaic research and development because of their promise for high-power conversion efficiencies and ease of fabrication. Two types of generic perovskites compounds have been used in cell fabrication: either Pb- or Sn-based. Here, we describe the performance of perovskite solar cells based on alloye...

Perovskite as Light Harvester: Prospects, Efficiency, Pitfalls and Roadmap

In the recent years, perovskite materials have attracted great attention due to their excel‐ lent light‐harvesting properties. The organic materials of these hybrid inorganic organic light harvesters are used as sensitizers and the inorganic materials have been used as light absorbers. The exceptional properties of these materials such as long diffusion length, high carrier mobility, affordable...

Methodologies for high efficiency perovskite solar cells

Since the report on long-term durable solid-state perovskite solar cell in 2012, perovskite solar cells based on lead halide perovskites having organic cations such as methylammonium CH3NH3PbI3 or formamidinium HC(NH2)2PbI3 have received great attention because of superb photovoltaic performance with power conversion efficiency exceeding 22 %. In this review, emergence of perovskite solar cell ...

Mixed Ge/Pb perovskite light absorbers with an ascendant efficiency explored from theoretical view.

Organic-inorganic methylammonium lead halide perovskites have recently attracted great interest emerging as promising photovoltaic materials with a high 20.8% efficiency, but lead pollution is still a problem that may hinder the development and wide spread of MAPbI3 perovskites. To reduce the use of lead, we investigated the structures, electronic and optical properties of mixed MAGexPb(1-x)I3 ...
