Dipole-Field-Tuning of Back-Contact Perovskite Solar Cells XIONGFENG LIN 10.26180/5c6f767231be7 https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Dipole-Field-Tuning_of_Back-Contact_Perovskite_Solar_Cells/7755305 Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated huge potential in becoming a promising alternative to commercially available photovoltaic technologies. For a PSC to be efficient, it typically needs to be “sandwiched” between thin charge transporting layers, which effectively extract photogenerated charges. This configuration affords high-efficiency solar cells, but results in significant performance and fabrication challenges, which limit the further improvement of this photovoltaic material towards the Shockley–Queisser limit. This thesis presents a novel device concept, along with an investigation into the device physics, with the aim of exploring the possibility of pushing PSCs towards their theoretical limit. 2019-02-22 04:11:28 Perovskite solar cells grain cluster back-contact interdigitated electrode honeycomb-shaped back-contact electrode dipole surface modification work function Photodetectors, Optical Sensors and Solar Cells Nanofabrication, Growth and Self Assembly
