Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Charge-Collection Efficiencies and Light Scattering in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Oriented TiO2 Nanotubes Arrays

TL;DR: Analysis of photocurrent measurements indicates that the light-harvesting efficiencies of NT-based DSSCs were higher than those found for D SSCs incorporating NPs owing to stronger internal light-scattering effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilizing Perovskite Structures by Tuning Tolerance Factor: Formation of Formamidinium and Cesium Lead Iodide Solid-State Alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of alloying FA0.85Cs0.15PbI3 with CsPbIsI3 was investigated, and it was shown that the effective tolerance factor can be tuned and the stability of the photoactive α-phase of the mixed solid-state perovskite alloys FA1-xCsxPbisI3 is enhanced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic–inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites for optoelectronic and electronic applications

TL;DR: Recent progress on hybrid perovskites is reviewed including basic chemical and crystal structures, chemical synthesis of bulk/nanocrystals and thin films with their chemical and physical properties, device configurations, operation principles for various optoelectronic applications (with a focus on solar cells), and photophysics of charge-carrier dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards stable and commercially available perovskite solar cells

TL;DR: Park et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a reproducible manufacturing method for perovskite solar cells, as well as routes to manage grain boundaries and interfacial charge transport to achieve long-term stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of a hot-phonon bottleneck in lead-iodide perovskites

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the carrier dynamics in planar methyl ammonium lead iodide perovskite films using broadband transient absorption spectroscopy and show that the sharp optical absorption onset is due to an exciton transition that is inhomogeneously broadened with a binding energy of 9'meV.
